This is sentence fragmentation -- It's a long noun phrase rather than a sentence.

If you do want to represent a range, you can do:

range (means 范围 in Chinese in your case)

from ... to (means two boundaries of a "range")

So, it is "rangeable" for your list items, the two kinds of jobs seem not so good.

Because they are just 2 instance for "low paying jobs", not a clarified bound of this range.

You can set a "paying salary", if you want to use 'range'

Low paying jobs range from working at McDonald's to driving a bus.

從在麥當勞打工到當巴士司機這類的低薪工作。

* Low paying jobs => 低薪工作
* working at McDonald's => 在麥當勞打工
* driving a bus => 當巴士司機
* range from ... to ... => 從 ... 到 ...
* ... jobs (which are) range ..., which are => 這類的
