There may be many jobs that don’t require a high-school diploma but those employers would like people that show up on time, can follow directions, complete tasks and learn processes and procedures. Having a high-school diploma is an indication that a prospective employees is more likely to have these traits. So it’s not just any high-school dropout that’s going to get the job.



I can believe that the # of cashiers needed is growing…sadly, I applied to 21
summer jobs this past season (things like retail) and only got one call for an interview



I think that most retailers don’t want summer college students unless the work is seasonal. They’d rather hire someone that has retail experience and will work throughout the year so that they don’t lose their training.
