29. sorry
but if you had a job at mcdonalds, you would still be getting benefits from the government, more than likely. With the minimum wage at 5.15 an hour, how far do you expect that wage to stretch? I have seen countless families, who were making more than 10 bucks an hour, still recieve help from the federal government, because 10 bucks an hour wasn't enough to survive on.

A job at McDonalds is okay for a high school kid, who lives at home, but as means to build a future on? Nope, not even close....
