About A young kid or a green beret

A young kid or a green beret?
I served in the army for 8 years and before that had also played football at Texas Tech. I was a volunteer firefighter and helped out at a local hospital in Lubbock. Now, my GPA of 3.3 wasn't exactly something to write home about, but as you could see I had to juggle my time and this was very hard to do. I am applying to work for a private company called Wilsonart International located in Central Texas. There is one other guy applying for the same job and he went to Yales and had a perfect 4.0 GPA, also did volunteer work, and is a class act. We are both very qualified for this job I believe, but my question is, who would you hire?

well, not enough info.3.2 is cum laude...not too shabby. what is the job/ what are your and his degrees............. do either have practical experienced in the job you are trying for? I like the military background..once again what rank and what did you do??/ why did you leave after eight? I could go on...........give it your best shot, but don;t stop looking while you wait for the result...good luck If you are a Green Beret and not an ass...you would be my pick......you would have a good set of skills and have flexability...

You'll demand pay for labor but an employer can bend the rules with the inexperienced one for pay and benefits. You're more likely to stick around until you get the shaft whereas the kid will more likely put up with it until a better paying job comes along. You have the point of unit loyalty whereas the kid is idealistic. So the choice is experience and reliability over cost and inexperience.
