No one starts from the top. Unless you were born with a silver spoon in your mouth, all of us have had to start from point A to get to point B. In the corporate world that means entry level jobs. From doctors, to miners, to laborers, to presidents, to chiefs, they have one thing in column. They have all started from the bottom and worked their way up. If you want to be an accountant you have to start as an accounting clerk. If you want to work in a hospital, you start as an intern.

Entry level jobs require less skill and are generally lower paying. They are ideal for people just out of high school or college who want to have a career. If you want to work in an office, an entry job might be a filing clerk or a mail clerk. Forms of entry level jobs are apprenticeships, internships, or even McJobs. McJobs are non-stimulating, low-paying jobs, especially in the food services industry.

Not all entry level jobs are bad, some can be great. An example is if you want to become an accountant but can’t afford to go to school full-time, your company will pay for you to go part-time, while being employed with them. Now you’re learning and gaining valuable experience. Entry level jobs are a great stepping stone to building towards your future. You may start as a cashier at McDonald’s, but end as an accountant for Microsoft.

Any job that helps you on your path to career success is a great job. It’s something you can put on your resume; its experience, and learning new skills.
