I guess we just we dealt with one of the good ones, sad to hear there are many that aren't.

The job market is tough for everyone these days. I feel sorry for young people as well as old. I really can appreciate now how easy it was for me to get work with only a high school diploma when I was just 18. Boy, those were the days. Although back then it was tough to get some really good jobs if one was female because there were what was considered "men's" jobs and "women's" jobs. Remember those? But that's a topic for a different thread.
I sure remember the newspaper job listings in the 70's for positions like "Gal Friday" and the traditional male jobs, like bankers, that advertised for males only.
