answer:I think that’s an interesting question. It probably depends on the level of the job. If you were an employer hiring for shift-work (let’s say it’s production-line for $14/hr), how would you choose between these applicants, with all qualifications being equal? 1) Stay at home mom with a college degree, looking to get back into the work force 2) Laid-off CEO looking for anything to get the utilities paid since he blew everything on worthless stock. 3) 19 year old highschool dropout with an infant to support. Yep. I’d go for the one who “needs” me. Waste resources training somebody to get the confidence to leave? I don’t think so.
