You Want Fries with That?: A White-Collar Burnout Experiences Life at Minimum Wage Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Book News Annotation:

At age 41, Alexander quit his high-paying position as an advertising executive and decided to take a series of low-paying jobs in order to avoid helping his wife around the house. Over the next year, he worked as a pizza deliveryman, ice cream scooper, fast food jockey, construction worker, ER tech, and even cowboy on a Montana dude ranch. And now, with the publication of this book, add humorist to the list. The moral of the story? "Dropping out is not wise, nor is it freeing. It is, however, pretty funny at times."
