I once had a recruiter try to recruiter me while I was in the job as a cashier. Just checking out his stuff and he just says “do you like working here”.

I said “yeah it’s fine”. Then he began questioning me on if i thought this was a good career path or where I wanted to go in life etc. I told him I was in college. Then this man’s eyes just lit up and he thought he had me. He said “and who’s paying for that?”

He was so very disappointed when I told him the government was paying for it. I explained I recieved a decent Pell grant that covered all my school costs. He looked immediately defeated. The second he knew I want struggling for money or deep in debt he knew he didn’t have a chance and gave up.

Pretty disturbing how excited he got when he thought I was in crippling debt. I guess they’re trained to exploit desperation. I’m also still annoyed he did this to me on the job where I couldn’t tell him to leave me the hell alone
