I'm not sure of your inference here - are you saying they were too stupid to have gotten jobs there, or that people who do get those jobs are bigger morons than them?
are there actually many McDonalds/HJ jobs in Alice Springs?
The inference is that people that work for those kind of organisations go on to do much better than apply for a courier driver gig. They've been drilled and that makes them more valuable than the idiots I was dealing with.
