With colleges producing more graduates, and youth unemployment at a sky-high 11.5 percent, even landing a job selling Big Macs is getting competitive.

Consider: A job opening at a Massachusetts McDonald's for a full-time cashier requires one to two years experience and a bachelor's degree.

"Get a weekly paycheck with a side order of food, folks and fun," offered McDonalds.

It is unclear if the fast-food restaurant really wants that kind of experience or is fishing for the highest qualified. The website for the Winchedon, Mass. McDonald's also lists jobs in Spanish.

This is great. Maybe now I can get exactly what I ordered or at the very least receive the proper change.

Funny thing is my grandfather used to tell me that he remembered a time when a taxi cab driver needed a college degree to get a job. That was in the 60's. Now his words are inded coming true. Just a little later than he warned about, but true just the same.
