There is a high school in Nashville (Middle College High School) that is housed at one of the community colleges and is focused on getting kids to graduate high school with as many college credits as possible. Many graduate with an associates.
- w1ntermute 13y agoThat's a great step forward. Are they perceived similarly to traditional associates degree holders (who are usually a few years older) by employers?
- jaxn 13y agoEmployers aren't supposed to consider age when making hiring decisions, but that is a good question. The program is pretty new, so I am not sure there is much data yet.
- humanrebar 13y agoEmployers are allowed to make hiring decisions based on age as long as the age is less than 45. Of course legal rules and social rules are different, but I don't see a big media backlash against companies for failing to hire smart 18-year-olds.
