Yea but it's possible for business A to have drop outs and could be just as successful as business B without drop outs. To be honest, it's really unfair. Their should be a law to issue a test to the drop out at least.

I disagree. I think it's fair. It's people's decisions if they decide to drop out for whatever reason. Just finish school, it's not complicated.

I think it's unfair for someone who dropped out of school to get a job over someone who has finished school and worked hard to get good grades.
So if someone's mom was a drug addict and with no father and was living really poor and had to drop out to help his mother pay rent, you think it's unfair still? Put yourself in their situation man. It's hard.

Since when was we going on about a fatherless kid who has to keep him and his mom from getting kicked out their home?...

I thought this was about people in general. Clearly there is going to be people who have reasons to leave school early. You don't need to tell me that.

That's just one reason. I can name many more...

I don't think your even reading my replies properly anymore. I think I should just leave the discussion at this point.

If you can't handle school, how can you handle a job?

My thoughts..

In my opinion, no.

Although they practically do it, It's kind of stupid to think that because you haven't been to high school, you have the brain capacity of a potato. And I mean don't get me wrong, it's a good measurement of skill and knowledge, but I don't feel it should be the determining factor.

Even so, I wouldn't recommend dropping out by any means.

No, I don't think you are reading his replies, as I'm fairly certain you said it's the students choice to drop out.

He simply gave an example of a situation in which it wouldn't be the students choice.

It all depends on the job at question here. I doubt any minimum wage jobs such as working at a grocery store require highschool education, but a lot of jobs that get higher up in pay require often times more than a highschool education.

The thing is, they don't care about how much you think you know about the world. Employers need to see it on paper and as sad as it might think, college/university is becoming a required asset if you want to get a good job these days.

I think it should be up to the employers to decide that. A majority of high school drop outs aren't capable of doing high-level jobs so you can't really blame an employer for automatically denying the job to a high school drop out. This doesn't apply to entry level jobs since those are typically easy.

Hiring a new employee could run a company a few thousand dollars per person (not including their salary) and for small businesses that could take a small toll out on the company, so choosing the right person is key. If a person does the job wrong not only do they have to fire them (money lost) but they also have to restart the process of hiring a new employee meaning more money down the drain.

Which is why they should give a test to see if the dropout is qualified to be in the job position.
