Many people have their first employment at a fast food restaurant. I love how these businesses provide opportunities for teenagers to learn about the responsibilities and duties of a “real” job.

Fast food restaurants are the “Poster Child” of franchising.  They account for only 26% of all franchises. This is a surprising fact for many people to realize. Yet they provide a high employment rate among all franchises as the chart below illustrates.

My first “real” job was in college 🏢 as a Resident Assistant which paid for my room and board. What about you? Put in the comments section where you had your first “real” job.
