Not enough, simply put, I wasn't doing it for the pay, but the experience and the fact that it looked good on a resume- it's since helped me land an even better job elsewhere.

You worked for McDonalds for 5 years because it looks good on your resume and didn't care for the pay? WTF? Is McDonalds like Goldman Sacs in Australia?

How much do you get paid that it's working for 5+ years?

Only one way to test that myth! P.S. bring some dynamite just in case.

How exactly are the experiences and training valuable and how are the skills transferable? Please provide specific examples as I am really interested and will follow up.
