The McDonalds university in Great Britain is a university where you learn the ins and outs of being a manger at a fast food restaurant and all of the stress and people management skills are needed. It usually entails a lot of student that have low self esteems and poor qualifications for real college but have a large work ethic and are willing to get their hands dirty. With the way the corporate ladder is set up in McDonalds people can work their way up and down the ladder with hard work no matter the education level or set up. This university could be just what the economy needs to grow.

  1. I think its a great idea and studying there is not just getting a degree, it also includes gaining valuable experience, which is not easy to find nowadays.

  2. I agree that this is a good idea because this kind of school helps people who are not doing well in this economy. By going to this university, people are able to learn how to work in the real world and possibly get a job fairly quickly.

  3. I approve this idea since it focuses on the lower class of the society. With this kind of university, people with a lack of proper education have the opportunity to do well and can actually find a job.

  4. I believe that specialized schools will be the way of the future. It seems savvy to spend money on an education that you can use immediately in your specific field of interest.

  5. I agree with everyone on this topic in that this will only help those who are struggling in this current economy as well as those who may not be suited for traditional college. This allows them to pick a specific career as well as receive an education that will immediately allow them to obtain a job and start working.
