Difference Between a Surgeon and a Fast Food Employee

                A mother’s favorite motto: “You better go to school Little Johnny or you’ll end up like that guy or worse yet!”  For the purpose of this blog, the worse yet will be compared to a fast food worker. This job was chosen randomly without bias, just observation, and the claims in this blog do not have any actual proof or information to back them up, they are however based on my observations and experiences with fast food workers.

                A surgeon is probably considered a pretty high job to be at and the most pre-planned mother’s dream for her baby to be successful. Again, this doesn’t apply to all mothers, just hypothetically speaking. A fast worker is probably on the lower end of the working food chain. In this blog, I will compare the two based on my observations and stereotypes.

                The easiest differences in jobs are that a surgeon operates on people and a fast food worker serves them instead. A surgeon deals with people’s organs and insides and a fast food worker will deal with the food that goes in someone’s insides. A surgeon would probably live in a bigger house and have a bigger salary. This is mostly due to the difference in salaries; A surgeon will make somewhere around 300,000 dollars every year whereas a fast food worker will make a measly 16,000 dollars every year. This could just be me, but that 284,000 dollar difference has got to make some kind of a difference in living styles.

                Let us compare the experience it takes to get to each of these positions. A surgeon will go to school for a minimum of eight years with the addition of residency. They will pay hundreds of thousands of dollars for this schooling as well. A fast food worker does not even have to finish high school and in turn will pay nothing for his schooling.

                After they get the job, a surgeon will work crazy long and odd hours whereas a fast food worker will work normal hours and may have trouble even getting enough hours.  A surgeon will live off coffee because of his long and weird hours and a fast food worker will drink coffee, of they can afford it, because they didn’t sleep long enough, were lazy and groggy, and need to get into a better mood.

                So in short, one has a clean, more extravagant life style, and the other has a less-surgically clean and maybe money-tight lifestyle. The career choice is always up to you but I mean, sometimes, your mother may be right. (440)
