Regarding Hiring, Should Companies be able to Check your Credit? Is it THEIR business?
Even IF bad credit does statistically say you are more likely to steal, should a company know what your personal finances are?
Why?
Why NOT?
I say no. There are *some jobs* in which it's necessary: when you're putting someone in direction control *of* your books and budget and they are money-managing. Money managing skills are either there - or not there.
BUT - that is not the same as "all jobs that handle money" - cashiers, wait staff - the number of people having jobs that touch-money is quite high. . . but does that matter? The number of people who have jobs that determine *what to do with it* is considerably smaller.
So - "no" in general unless "money management" is your job.
