I worked in a McDonalds for six months. The money was rubbish, but that aside, I quite enjoyed it. There's a sense of camraderie in that kind of job that you don't get in more well paying jobs, it's easy to be social with your co-workers, and actually, I kind of enjoyed making burgers.

None of those things make up for the giant differential in income, and predictability of hours though. And McDonalds does lack the occasional super interesting problem you get in IT - but day to day the actual job wasn't a lot worse.
