In every group of people you encounter, there are going to be some that rub you the wrong way and some that are flat-out assholes. From the sounds of it, you met one. It doesn't represent what all or majority of vocational rehab would tell you to do, it was just one lady. It's a far cry to say it was discrimination since you have no evidence whatsoever to indicate she wasn't trying to encourage you by giving doubt, simply didn't care, intended her answer to be only temporary while you (and possibly your husband) get off your feet, etc... .
