Anybody ever think about this?!
Every time anyone my age tries to get a job, it always comes down to whether the person has a high school diploma. People act like the possession of a high school diploma is something almost magical. It's driving me nuts! High school diplomas don't mean anything!
Case in point: My aunt is an authorized U.S. Cellular agent and runs several stores. I've asked her for a job numerous times, but she always nails me with the fact that I have no high school diploma. That supposedly means that I'd be a bad employee, right? Well, let's see...She's constantly updating us with horror stories about her crappy employees who leave trash laying around, get their tongues pierced, smart off to customers and show up late for work. She even has a few snobs who think they need big fat raises since the minumum wage just went up, even though they're already making more than the now-current minumum wage. Several weeks ago, they had one girl steal a hundred bucks, and then say that she lost it. But since all these people have high school diplomas, that makes them just the people for the job, right? Give me a BREAK!!! A high school diploma is just a slip of paper that shows the person learned the material in order to pass the tests. That's all!!
