Some advice for Ms. Schupp. Instead of hiring a young skull-full-of-mush directly from the halls of academia, consider a young man or woman who earned their degree during their time in the military, or after being honorably discharged from the service. Instead of slackers, she’ll have new hires who understand discipline, time management and attention to detail.
As a retired Air Force officer (and current university recruiter) I’ll still amazed at the number of employers who devalue (or simply don’t understand) the value of military training and experience. Those signs and messages to “hire a vet” are just as relevant today as they were 65 years ago.

My dad(a decorated WW2 vet) suggested I try to hire young vets for my entry level positions. It was the best advice he ever gave me. About 10 years ago, I hired a 25 year old vet who had a junior college degree , and was attending night school at a major university. This guy read every book I had on being a stock broker by the end his first
year. He is now one of the top currency traders at Bank of America. I had similar success with other vets.
