This 66-year-old has worked at McDonald's for 50 years: 'I never
thought it would be my forever job'
In the 1970s, the coolest job you could have was flipping burgers at McDonald's.
At least according to Paul Hendel. He started working at the newly
opened McDonald's in Merrick, New York on the south shore of Long
Island in 1973 when he was just 16 years old, excited to snack on
unlimited french fries and hang out with his friends between shifts.
The gig paid $1.85 an hour.
"Believe it or not, you needed to have an in to get a job at
McDonald's back then, so my brother, who was working in the kitchen, recommended me for the job," Hendel, 66, tells CNBC Make It.
"Everybody wanted to work there."
