I can't open your link but no matter, after several decades I still fondly remember getting a job at the burger place (and smart-ass comments about "you can save 6 hours and flush those fries right now"), saving up and saving up until I could get better and better degrees and jobs, and finally ending up as the CEO of the bank or whatever.
