I worked at a Burger King in Pasco WA for three years, putting myself through community college. I started out running the broiler (yes, those burgers ARE 'flame broiled') and worked up to production leader (running the kitchen) and part-time assistant manager. When not performing in shows at the college, I would go to school full time and work 37-39 hours a week (under the 'full time' limit). When I left, I was their highest-paid employee; at $3.58 an hour.
