They could barely understand my education, much less my professional experience. They were looking for people who wanted to be a cook, or an electrician, or a carpenter, or a housekeeper. If you think about it, someone who is making 30k is probably going to have a difficult time trying to place someone in a job that is on a very different plane from their own. That's not to denigrate their usefulness and utility in helping some people, I'm just saying my own experience was less-than-helpful.
