Background checks, lack of education, lack of car, lack of family connections If you can't pass a background check, that means you did something you should not have done. In rare cases it may be due to a family member but that is usually only when going for a high security clearance. Lack of education? Public school through 12th grade is provided by the tax payers. After that the community colleges offer great programs at an affordable cost. Lack of car? I bet they use their money for a cell phone, big LCD Tv, Internet and smokes. Spend your money wisely. Lack of family connections? Stand on your own merit and make yourself standout from other applicants. We are really tired of hearing excuses for not performing.
