Lower Township - I used to think hard work and a college education were valuable to potential employers. Unfortunately, the last two interviews I attended the interviewers were more interested in my marital status and children than my professional achievements. I guess my education only counts for something if I am unmarried with no children. I wish I had known what little value my education would possess before I worked so hard, and spent so much money to earn a bachelor’s degree. I guess women in today’s society have to choose between a family or a career. Shame on me for wanting both.
