People argue however that this is not an accurate assumption of what a person is capable of doing and should not be allowed to be used as a hiring tool. More state join together to ban the use of credit checks when hiring an employee.

I found this article to be my favorite, in the article it lists 20 life skills not taught in school, from communication and thinking to learning how to build credit and get insurance. This made me really think how I didn't learn any of those skills that I use everyday now when I was in school. It even talks about how the bible, cooking, guns, and finding a job all play a big part in adult life.

Wow, great find! I have three children and my husband and I are always trying to teach them just about everything listed in this article. Years ago many of those things were taught in some degree. Now it seems like they don't touch much on these at all. I know there are classes when you are older you can go too, but I think all of these subject could be taught to some degree in the classroom setting. I also think that if they were maybe our economy would be better, because our future adult citizens (kids in school) will have a better understanding of what it takes and how to get a head to be a responsible citizen.

I think this article is really cool. It shows really important skills that aren't taught in school that you don't even realize till you actually think about it. Many day to day things aren't taught in school but things that we will never use are taught.

Companies may not come out and say the real reason they didn't hire you is because of a bankruptcy on your record. This is because employers don't have to be honest when turning your employment with them down. However it is shown that in fact bankruptcy and bad credit are sometimes used to weed you out of a job.

Gender equality still remains a big factor in women lives when it comes to career choices. In the article it compares the level of consideration between males and females when they pick their careers. This issue isn't going unnoticed by the press however and top influence's are doing their best to improve women's comfort ability and confidence when it comes to career choices.

I believe that in general, regardless of gender, a person should pursue and be whatever they want to. Gender roles have substantially changed over the years and continue to do so. Chasing careers and hiring for jobs should focus on the person as an individual, not by their gender.

I hate to admit, being a woman in society is definitely challenging in numerous ways. It's horrible that a person's gender determines if they qualify for the job or not. Although, throughout the years I believe people have improved and for the most part, people have stopped becoming so simple minded. Women are finally given the credit that they deserve.

I think its important that we consider that its Gender Equality and not Female Equality. Both sides of the fence face the same descrimination. I am personally in a position where I am more than qualified to move up, but am noticing that only women are being promoted. There are struggles on both sides.

Starting with Eleanor Roosevelt movement women have came along way, we see how much women had to suffer to get where they are today. Women had to fight for the same rights men had when it comes to pay or education. They still face issues with being treated unfairly today, such as certain job where men say that some work isn't for a women but only for men to do.
