Question 2
Your cousin Benito, age 30, has worked at five different companies since the age of 18, when he started working. His mother expresses to you that she is worried he will not be hired when he applies for his next job because other applicants his age will probably have stayed with one company longer than Benito has. Based on what you know from your developmental psychology course, what can you tell your aunt about Benito's five jobs in the past twelve years?
◦ Benito will probably not get hired when he applies for his next job since other applicants his age most likely have stayed with one or two jobs between the ages of 18 and 30.
◦ Benito is changing jobs so frequently because he constantly shows up late to work, due to poor sleep hygiene, and is unlikely to be hired at his next job.
◦ Benito has likely settled on his permanent career after working for five employers, and probably has no plans to apply elsewhere.
◦ Benito will likely be in good company with other applicants his age when he applies for his next job since the average American holds eight different jobs between the ages of 18 and 30.
