Eduation with Terry Hawkins I have an expression that Iits some people a little bit liard, but it's one I believe in very much. When someone tells me that tliey can't get a j Ob, my saying is, "If you haven't been turned down for the poor jobs, then you haven't been turned down for work." There are of course, many reasons why some people can't get work but it appears that somnetimes it's because they don't really want towork. This happens witli greater frequency than I like to see with secondary school age students. While the vast majority of young people fulfili their school work obligations and in addition do work around their home and in some cases have part time after scliool jobs, there are those that don't seem to do much of anything. Time and time -again they say that the reason they don't do their school' work, have poor attendance and show up late, is because they don't want to be at school, but out workîng on a job. It's a contradiction, of course, because employers have" long ago found that peple wlio do a good job at scho usually do a good job for tliem. Likewise the person who does not put forth mucli effort at school soon starts to show the same characteristics on the job. I hear some pretty wonder- ful arguments from young people who want to quit school and go to work. A, standard one is that on the job you get paid, so you feel like working where in school there is no pay. Another standby reason is that a friend can get me a job. The friend said, "any time you want a job, just let me know and lIl speak to the boss." 1 can't recali one single situation where the friend has actually pulled it off yet. In answer to my question about what type of work the student will be looking for, the answer often is, "any kind of job". Well I have the names of two or three companies that almost always have job openings. The hours are long, the work is hard, you go home at night in great need of a bath and the pay is the minimum wage. t gives a student about to drop out of schooljust about ,everything he cuj desire - money, freedom, no homework, independence. Yet time after time the student won't apply because lie says, "I don't want a job that bad." That's why 1 say, "If a person hasn't been turned down for the poor jobs then they haven't been turned down for work." There is that small minorit!x of young people who don't wan t to work at school and who also really don't want to work elsewhere either, making them face the realities of life and the consequences of their actions is the only hope there is to having them adjust and become successful.
