A McDonald's University?


A McDonald's education? That sentence might make people laugh. Critics will be quick to say "it just goes to show how fat America is getting." But, America's obesity problem is no joke and neither is McDonald's Hamburger University. Hamburger University isn't "newfangled" either, it was started by one of their original employees back in the good old days. In fact many of McDonald's top executives attended Hamburger University. There are now 7 branches of HU all over the world ready to help you achieve your degree in Hamburgerology (yes that's really what it's called.) Unlike normal "old fashioned" University's, many of HU's grads finish courses in around 5 days. 

Lorenzo's Opinion: 
I have looked long and hard and can't find many things wrong with the idea of McDonald's Hamburger University. Except for the fact that it might make future job interviews a little awkward. "So tell me about your education, where did you attend school?" (Awkward Silence) "Uhmmmm yes, well I, you see.....") I guess opening with your degree in Hamburgerology isn't always that great an idea. But, if you are looking to go into franchise ownership or general management HU is a great option. A large amount of graduates from HU go on to own their own restaurants, or become a higher up at McDonald's.  

Final Lorenzo Rating: I give it a thumbs up 👍

Tidbit:
Today's tidbit is brought to you by the oddest headline I could find today:

Black man wearing KKK robe confronted by deputies: authorities

Well then....
He told authorities he was conducting a "social experiment."

Der Märchenkönig | The mysterious Ludwig II of Bavaria

High in the foothills of the Bavarian Alps stands a castle, brash and alone. Its appearance is self indulgent, fanciful, and almost instantly recognizable. You, the reader, have most likely seen this castle before in posters, commercials, movies, and as the basis for the "Disney Castle." Despite the commanding appearance and importance suggested by its posture, the castle, Schloss Neuschwanstein, was never the seat of power for a great empire nor a powerful ruler. It stands as an unfinished monument to one of Europe's most distinctive rulers, King Ludwig II of Bavaria.  Ludwig II is known by many as the "mad king," and popular belief holds that his penchant for building large and expensive castles led to his downfall.  This may be true, but was the "mad" king really crazy?  Many have marveled at the king's ostentatious castles, but the king's life, and especially his sudden death at age 40, remains shrouded in mystery.  Born on the August 25th,...

Apple in 2021, The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly

It's Been a Long Time In multiple ways, I haven't written in a long time and it has been a long time since I have talked about Apple's products. Even in this crazy year a lot of things have changed and Apple's new line up might seem confusing to some people. Every time they had a big launch, I thought, "I should write a Lorenzo Ramble explaining this." But I'm lazy, and I didn't so now we are all stuck with this. So I am here to clear things up. (This is kind of a spread out Lorenzo Ramble so just look at the headings and skip to the parts you want explained.) I guess it's to late to be a Christmas shopping guide, so I guess more of a birthday gift guide. Or if you got gift cards for Christmas. A Lot of Things Have Changed  A lot of people seem to think I dislike Apple. I wounder why that is? The truth is that, like many relationships in many peoples lives, it is a love hate relationship. My issue is that their products are just so pretty, and just...

Classical Music For Dummies

It's the time of year where I feel guilty for having only posted once, and I have decided to give all of you a Christmas "gift." How generous.  Over the past few years I have become a classical music fiend, having gone from not being able to listen to a piece longer than 15 minutes, to regularly listening to 90 minute symphonies. If you had asked me 5 years ago if I liked classical music, I would have said "no," and added, "it's boring."  I think the real deterrent is that I, like many others, was intimidated by the world of "other" music that I had no experience with. I had no real "jumping off point," and that is why after spending an inordinate amount of time exploring the world of classical music I think I am moderately qualified to create a guide to help other's get a taste of it too.  Aside from the issue of not knowing what to listen to, the second major hurdle is learning how to listen to a different type of music.  ...
