Wants, i'm older than you and i've been turned down for so many jobs due to my age. or sexism.
in 1967, i tested for Veterinary School at Oklahoma State University. I was accepted. The day I was told that I made it, a professor walked up to me and said this, "i hope you know that you've just taken the place of a deserving young man"......i said, "no, you're wrong, the school just got a deserving and smart young woman who will make the best damned veterinarian you've seen in years"........
turned out my veterinary school will be 40 this December. i was pregnant and didn't know it and didn't go on.........ageism, sexism, it all sucks. and we won't see the end of it in our grandchildren's lifetimes..........i'm sorry, but that's how i see it. xoxoxo pat
