This is totally wrong. What I would say is those jobs (at least for me) were a starting point. You do them when you're super young and work your way up. Start showing work experience and then continuing to switch jobs. Those jobs are not careers.

I'm a VP today. Did not go to college.
1st job a restaurant, then went to computer school, 2nd job a restaurant, and finally got an opportunity working on computers. From there I kept working and switching companies, growing every time.

Again - I realize this isn't possible for some. It also doesn't help when you're having kids at 17-18 years old. My mother was 18 when she had me and I'm well aware of the struggles.
