Etzioni asserts that fast-food jobs “impart few skills that will be useful in later life” (par. 3). For example, he claims they do not provide “opportunities for entrepreneurship … or self-discipline, selfsupervision, and self-scheduling” (par. 6) and “[t]here is no room for initiative, creativity” (par. 7). How different, really, is delivering newspapers from working at McDonald’s in terms of the skills learned about discipline, scheduling, and so on? What other kinds of skills do teens learn when working at fast-food restaurants, and what potential use do you think these skills have in life?
