Like which attributes are military like

You have to clean up your bed area, and your bunk. You have to get up at a certain time (like reveille). There's bed check. It's all pretty regimented.

It's like a cross between summer camp and the army. Not as bad as Basic Training. More like the military after Basic.

The leaders of your group are like a cross between a sergeant and a camp counselor.

You should read some blogs about Job Corps.

Its good structure for me then. I think its my best bet on getting and keeping jobs.

Maybe you won't. Maybe you are an employee worth hiring but I think the point starkid is trying to make is that there is usually a reason for adults to not have held down a job. Overall hiring these type of people (not necessarily autistic people) is likely to cause problems. Speaking for myself personally I am not a good employee from an employers point of view. I become overwhelmed by my problems to the point where I cannot focus on my work. This and my lack of social skills are the main reasons I cannot hold down a job for very long. Starkid is right about putting business needs before emotions when hiring. It's a shame because I can see your point of view also and I'm all for giving people a chance but it just doesn't make good business sense to do that all the time as the business manager would have a lot of problems.

Job Corp is the key to our success
