It's a place of teaching the following of rules, as is nessisary in all aspects of society. The differences between work and school are so vast. You can't get fired from school for poor preformance, in fact you get the opposite, more school.

Well to an extent all of them. They aren't too keen on having philosophical minded people with an understanding of history and the nature of society as it is. They want people with skills that can be exploited, that goes from minimum wage workers to the highest skilled workers.
But the more obvious examples are low paid, low skilled industries. I mean Mcdonalds doesn't want everyone being trained as teachers, doctors, engineers etc. They want you to be able stand up, smile and take orders. Be it Burger King, or a cleaning agency, refuse collectors or a supermarket, that is their requirements.

I would disagree. Although Intel gets no benefit from me learning History (as it won't help me with my job), they still pay for me to take those classes in college, along with writing, english, economics, and physics (none of which help me in my job).
McDonalds prefers students as employees and will work with them to make a flexible schedule so that they can attend high school or college while working. They are also fulling aware that these students are going to leave the company and get better jobs, and they still give good references to assist in those people getting better jobs (though I can't speak for McDonalds, I can for KFC and Wendys).
