Mcdonalds has their own University called Hamburger University. Ray Kroc named it that because he really wanted humility. He wanted people proud to say I work at Mcdonalds, without having to add when hot chicks are around "But I'm in "Corporate". Ray Kroc till the end would flip burgers,etc. In Kroc tradition, they really like humility. Not douchebag real estate fakes, heavy on show and low on old fashioned hard work.
Hamburger University is a 130,000-square-foot (12,000 m2) training facility of McDonald's, located in Chicago, Illinois.

Ham U. is where you learn when the fries are done, how to mix the secret shake formula, fix the belt on the burger machine, and manage a McDs franchise.
Ham U. is focused on training franchisees to run their McDs franchise.
It's not a real University where you get a legit degree such as a BS or BA.
A "degree" from Ham U. is not a qualifier for a corporate job at McD.
