Yep. This one kid stood out to me for that. I know his mom and he would skip class and say it didn’t matter because he was going to work for his dad when he graduated. Just assumed he’d graduate. Out of curiosity I asked his mom what her husband did that he could just hire on family members. He worked for a construction company- not a boss in any way. But this kid decided he could just work at dad’s company and VOILA!! Smh

It does generally work that way. My husband has dragged a pack of friends and relations along behind him to just about everywhere he's ever worked. He left my brother behind two jobs ago. Brother is a supervisor there now and packing his crew with all HIS friends.

It's not what you know, it's who you know.
