Comments on: Nepotism in the WorkPlace – Are you a Beneficiary? A Facilitator? Or a Casualty? http://www.darwinsfinance.com/nepotism-workplace/ Financial Evolution: Education, Adaptation, Achievement Mon, 15 Mar 2010 21:36:30 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Hilary http://www.darwinsfinance.com/nepotism-workplace/comment-page-1/#comment-4841 Hilary Sun, 14 Mar 2010 21:42:53 +0000 http://www.darwinsfinance.com/?p=1043#comment-4841 The kind of nepotism that really hurts this country is when dim-witted jocks leave college with a job already lined up because their parents own a business or their parents have rich friends that can offer them jobs. Those are the jobs that are never posted for the world to see. Familial nepotism is what hinders your chances of ever escaping the working-class. You can have merit coming out your ears, but if lack of connections forces you to seek your opportunities from strangers, you're going to be exploited. Period. We need policies to address the problem for example, free education through college, more government jobs and more housing assistance. This isn't Russia. If you're willing to work hard, you shouldn't need "connections" in order to live a middle-class lifestyle.
