In fact we rarely do take a chance. Companies have to spend money on training. It's not free anymore. I have told more than one young man go back and at least get a GED. Show us that you are motivated to improve your life. Most mumble under their breath... eff off...

I think that's understandable. There are reasons people don't finish high school, and most of them are sad, but I can't blame an employer for being wary. Anyone who wants to get a GED can get one virtually free, and if they need tutoring that's probably available, too.
