Credit Rating Advantage I Hadn’t Thought Of

I just finished filling out a lot of paperwork for my new job–lots of security stuff.  The job is in the gambling industry, and there is understandably some concern over security.  One of the pages I had to fill out was an acknowledgement that they’d be running a credit check.

I hadn’t thought of it before, but it makes total sense that an employer in the gambling industry would want to take peak at your credit report.  If someone applying for a job had financial problems or a history of financial problems they could be a possible source of problems later on.  I think the release said that they’d be checking for a history of bankruptcy as far back as ten years.

Despite the fact that Dave Ramsey says it doesn’t matter, I’m happy to have a high credit score today.
