Sure he's glad to have a job, but unless he's a major fuck-up he's also overqualified for that job. And I'm sure if he actually needs to support himself or anyone else he's looking for his next job too. Not graduating high-school makes it hard to land even a low skill job, but not because he's any less qualified for it. It's just a lazy minimum filter to avoid people that would have absentee issues. Working retail is simple (not easy, depending on your personality) and anyone can do it once they've been shown how to run the register. "The likelihood of them leaving is much higher..." Do you know what the turnover is in low skill jobs? http://www.cnbc.com/id/102021496# http://www.cnbc.com/id/102021496#. "After reaching 100 percent in 2005—then subsequently dropping to 51 percent following the recession in 2011—median turnover rates for part-time retail workers jumped back up to 74.9 percent in 2013, according to Hay Group, a management consulting firm." Even call centers (considered a decent job for "unskilled" adults), have better than 25% turnover. http://smallbusiness.chron.com/standard-employee-turnover-call-center-industry-36185.html http://smallbusiness.chron.com/standard-employee-turnover-ca...
