Let’s be real for a second—if retail stores were high school cliques, Target would be the cool kids’ table. You know it, I know it, everyone knows it. While other big box stores are fine (no shade), Target just hits…
Let’s talk about McDonald’s. Love it or hate it, the Golden Arches are everywhere—14,000+ locations in the U.S. alone. And here’s something most people don’t realize: McDonald’s is probably the easiest first job to get in America. Seriously. If you’re…
