I find it hard to believe you can flip enough burgers to pay that mortgage and still survive. Not many fast food places will pay over 30 hours a week to burger flippers. Managers yes. You would barely survive.

To keep a $1,400 within the 28/36 rule [1] you need to make $60,000 a year. That's around the median wage for a fast-food manager [2].

Can I just walk in with no management experience and ask for a manager job anywhere?

Even fast food managers will want to know you've been slinging burgers for 2-3 years.

like it's not an amazingly complex job, but you can't just hire some rube off the street because he had a CS degree and knows a bunch of node.
