Somebody sent me this email and I'm passing it on as it seems ideal to use
in the classroom. The kind of things our kids like.
*Job** **Interview** ** Question**
**You are driving along in your car on a wild, stormy night. You pass **
**by a bus stop, and you see three people waiting for the bus: **
**1. An old lady who looks as if she is about to die. **
**2. An old friend who once saved your life. **
**3. The perfect man (or) woman you have been dreaming about. **
**Which one would you choose to offer a ride to, knowing that there**
**could only be one passenger in your car. **
**Think before you continue reading. This is a moral/ethical dilemma**
**that was once actually used as part of a job application. **
**You could pick up the old lady, because she is going to die, and **
**thus you should save her first;*
*O**r you could take the old friend because he once saved your life, and
this would*
*be the perfect chance to pay him back.*
*However, you may never be able to find* * * *your perfect dream lover
again. **
**The candidate who was hired (out of 200 applicants) had no trouble **
**coming up with his answer. **
**He simply answered: "I would give the car keys to my old friend, and**
**let him take the lady to the hospital. I would stay behind and wait for**
**the bus with the woman of my dreams." **
**Never forget to "Think Outside of the Box."*
