Company won't hire those fresh out of college

Joanne Jacobs reports that those in their twenties are Good with Facebook, not with failure. Some businesses are refusing to hire "people fresh out of college unless they’ve done a work-related internship or have an advanced degree." There is concern that too many people graduating now have little work ethic.

Part of this problem is due to public schools making education a passive activity. Students are not allowed to get excited and run with a particular topic. They have to march with the rest of the class and study what everyone studies. I'm afraid too many people come out of K-12 having learned how to be passive.

One of the reasons we homeschool is so we can help our children develop a work ethic.
