LMAO@Hiring one chemist over another just because he worked at Walmart for a couple of months to pay the bills.
Work ethic has nothing to do with financial obligations. Even the laziest chump will get up off his butt if he has kids to feed and bills to pay. Motivation isn't even in that equation.
Now I am not saying you SHOULD NOT hire him BECAUSE he worked at Walmart, but that retail experience obviously has NOTHING to do with his responsibilities in a lab or other scientific research setting unless he was a manager of the store managing other people, which would indicate transferable managerial experience. (i.e. - If He was Assistant Floor Manager at Daffy's he could be considered for a position "Assistant Director of Lab 022" or something to that effect...)

Okay I'm glad you were trying to make a point there, but you are still a bit off. Yes an assistant manger would be nice to have since you know he has people skills and should be able to get along with the group. You also know he has a good work ethic, though sticking him as a assistant lad director would be a crazy or stupid idea due to those reasons since that would include a lot of hands on lab work. Though still the guy that worked at Wal-mart for six months to a years would be great to have too since you know he has some sort of work ethic over the kid fresh out of college. So in the long run, as long as the person has a good prior work experience and has the qualifications they will have more luck then a kid fresh out of college.

See, there's the problem, we disagree. The laziest chump doesn't get off his ass to feed his kids and pay his bills, that's where welfare lifies come from. It's not our unemployment rate was 0% before the recession. How many 20 some year olds do you know that have a sense of urgency to pay their bills? Our generation is the first generation to experience the "Quarter Life Crisis" due to competition in the workforce, as I've said before. Most kids go back home after college and chill out playing video games. This guy worked on an oil rig in California as one of his part time jobs, not just the retail.
Also, we obviously interviewed him and questioned him on his knowledge in our workfield. It's not like the ONLY reason we hired him was because he worked some part time jobs, but that's really what seperated him from other candidates that did not.

Sorry guys, I guess I completely forgot that we were talking about College grads.
What if we were talking about two seasoned Chemists that were simply out of work? (Let's assume both have families and hefty financial obligations).

Then that would be a fight for the better qualified with the more lab experience. Though the employee at Wal-mart might get an up on the other that didn't work since he still put his foot out the door to make due and tried. That is saying that the other just sat there on unemployment. But if the other still was a lot better qualified he would more then likely still get the job.
