Depends what they were seeking to do with the rest of their career. I like my gourmet food manufacturing gig. It pays the bills, it’s a great team and the work takes up its alloted time only. If you were looking to gain the kind of experience which would put you in a good place to start your own business, or go work for a much bigger manufacturer that offers more in terms of promotions etc, then it’s potentially useful. It wasn’t my purpose though; I just wanted a job that didn’t take too much time away from my family, was local to where I live and was in an industry I care about. It had the advantage of being lockdown and recession proof, and a reliable source of work.
