 		 #168848 - Perhaps, but they're one in a billion.
Responding to: ???'s previous message
I was very optimistic about youthful workers, but, having tried a few dozen others, I've decided to stick with the tried-and-true. I'm not willing to waste any more time on people that young, and even less so on new grad's, who have vast misconceptions about their relative value.

The last dozen or so I've interviewed clearly had the attitude that they had to do one good thing, and then they could retire, with a 12-figure income. I'm persuaded that they should learn to put in a full day's effort first. It wouldn't hurt if they'd first learn to read and write, too.
