..and so therefore you didn't get the job, and you had to become a teacher, and now you're angry at everyone who doesn't understand the awful burden that poor Gen X had to bear.
I don't buy your argument that your generation was "Shut out" of the 1990's tech boom. I seem to recall the late 1990's as a time of the $50,000/year call center employee and $80,000/year HTML coder. The NASDAQ rose 65% from 1990-1995, and then 410% from 1995-2000.
I worked in banking after I graduated college with my business degree in 1995 so I don't know where you are coming from. When banking began to go sour five or six years ago many of us left for other career opportunities. I completed my maters in education, and began a second career. If you have not noticed people are making the decision to go back to college and earn a new career. The X generation was shut out and the opportunities the baby boomers took for granted are now gone, did away by the same generation which went from hippies to yuppies. By the way the call center jobs which you talk about are in India and the Philippines so I don't know what you are talking about in terms of big salaries. They are gone.

"You don't know where I am coming from..."
..and then you persist with your baseless claims, ignoring all evidence I presented against it.
I wouldn't have hired you either.

Yes, they are gone, just like the 1990's in which they occured.
..and then you proceed to continue your claims, ignoring all evidence I presented against it.

They were disappearing in the 1990s. They were the next phase of job losses meant to increase profits for big corporations and robe the U.S. of valuable buying power.
Sounds to me liike being a government contractor that they may have needed to hire a woman ;plain and simple. It had little to do with any perceived threat you were.If you actaully listened to your academic then surelty you know by now he didn't know what he was talking about.If they were not familar with your resume ;they really had litlte interest in hiring you most likely even if you were a woman.

No, the company I worked for before completing my BS in business administration, American Cyanamid was the government contractor which took weeks to do a back ground check prior to hiring me.
