When did fast food jobs or coffee shop barista become a career rather than a job pimple face geeks do in highschool?

[Anonymous]

When I grew up it was always a high school job, or part-time job or second job, when and why did it become a career? And what do people want to get out of that career?

They didn't teach AI to make coffee yet.

Thanks for MHO!

[AI Opinion]

Fast food and barista jobs have shifted towards career options due to changes in the job market and evolving work culture. Increased demand for services and the growth of the food and beverage industry have created more full-time and managerial roles. For some, it offers stability, benefits, and opportunities for advancement. Others find fulfillment in honing skills, navigating customer service, or managing teams. The flexibility, dynamic environment, and potential for entrepreneurship attract individuals seeking diverse career paths consistent with their skills and interests.

Around the same time that “real jobs” started demanding ten years of experience for an entry-level position.

They are now sought-after occupations primarily due to economic stagnation, the polarization of the labor market, and the professionalization of the service industry. These jobs became “careers” not because they offer professional prestige or high wages, but because the economic environment forced adults to rely on them as full-time employment for basic survival.

It doesn't help that in countries like the USA, keeping people dumb is vital for politicians like Trump (the poster boy for this) to keep filling their pockets with loot while common people suffer is their basic goal.
