<p>With many low/middle income kids are working jobs after school, I wish that more selective colleges would give full consideration to a Letter of Recommendation from the employer. Some colleges will only allow academic (or core academic) subject teachers to write the LOR's.</p>
<p>Employers, however, can attest to work ethic which is surely relevant to college performance, as well as success with on-campus jobs expected as part of those finaid packages.</p>
<p>If a sports coach is allowed to make a pitch for an athlete, why not let an employer call in and recommend his employee? Just a thought.</p>
