Jack McGillivray, Chapter 6, Question 1

One of the ways in which this chapter relates to my life is the conversations I've had with my coworkers at Walgreens. At the store I worked at, the majority of my coworkers were much older than me, many of them were into their 50's and 60's. Through talking to them I learned that only one of them had gone to college, and many hadn't finished high school. Many of them had been laid off from a previous job and were only able to find work at minimum wage. They were extremely limited by their lack of human capital and because of this were unable to find work for a decent wage. This really stressed the importance of education to me, many of these people were friendly, bright, and compassionate. But no matter how good of a person they are they're limited by their education.
