My company advertised about 24 job openings paying around $25 to start.
They processed over 4000 applications.
They administered the basic reading, language comprehension tests that are supposed to be equivalent to high school grad tests.
Less than 20% passed these tests which are considered bare minimum even to be considered for employment.

Our parents told us that we need to pay attention in school and get a good education.
Our teachers told us that we need to pay attention in school and get a good education.
Everyone told us that we need to pay attention in school and get a good education.
Some of us listened. Many did not.
I made darn sure my kids understand that concept and they both get straight A's.

I'm worried for them though, they will undoubtedly end up with idiots working for them.

We make our own breaks and open our own doors through our own habits and decisions.
Yes times are really tough now and many good people are hurting through no fault of their own, but they'll get through it.
The rest will be looking for the gubmint to take care of them because of their own mistakes.

Heck of a way to teach a lesson to the next generation:
go ahead and screw up, there won't be any consequences.
