I think companies have a lot to gain from hiring people from non-traditional backgrounds. I don't know that college is the only way to learn things. But companies want to lower their risks, and having a diploma often means that a person spent four years applying themself. (I know, it can be highly deluded.) I like the idea of high school grads who show initiative...and can do the job...that's the trick.</p>FrankThu, 23 Oct 2008 08:47:22 -0000http://www.knowhr.com/blog/2007/08/29/give-high-school-grads-a-chance/#comment-3243213<p>I really wish companies would give high grads a chance. There are a lot of talented people being left behind and this really needs to change. I hope others who are part of the hiring decision making process in America change their minds and give high school grads a chance. Remember you have nothing to loose and everything to gain.</p><p>Jinnyn</p>JinnynWed, 22 Oct 2008 19:21:20 -0000http://www.knowhr.com/blog/2007/08/29/give-high-school-grads-a-chance/#comment-1824902<p>Everyone needs college these days to get A JOB. But if you're an entrepreneur, college is not necessary.</p><p>Andrew Gunther<br>---------------------<br><a href="http://www.skoogo.com" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="http://www.skoogo.com">http://www.skoogo.com</a></p>andrewSun, 20 Apr 2008 00:14:40 -0000
