I think my job saved me from insanity in year 12. BUT I did not have a social life. I went to school, studied my BUTT off and I worked to have my time out of the house.

From the 'employer' POV - If she doesn't want a job she won't appear employable. And she will not apply herself at her job and she probably won't get a shiny reference either. So when it comes to that side of things, I don't see the point. Personally I wouldn't hire someone that did not want to work. *disclaimer* this is only my personal experience in my workplace that does not mean other workplaces will have the same hiring system etc.
