No proselytizing? You’re on the wrong site. We’re biased and Pro Christian religion on this site here. This is Free Republic, not moveon.org
Just keep plumpin’ it up! :D

A new twist (of the knife) on the old “We want a 20 year old with 30 year’s experience” chestnut...
OMG! That’s insane!

I very much sympathize, my earlier comments were to encourage you not to think like a victim, even if you are one (somewhat), I’d like to see you be able to overcome a bad job market. Just wishing you well. I know “start your own business” is a big deal, but maybe even a small thing on the side would help with income, confidence, contacts, etc.
As for “new college graduate,” one thing I can understand is that they want to pay a starter salary, not an experienced salary.
How about thinned out wrinkled old veins and arteries ?
One privilege of getting old, you get to make a bucket list.
I’m 70 and today took on a new client
It’s actually quite amusing, in a few short years I’ve gone from being the young guy that didn’t have the experience they wanted, to being the guy that has the experience they want, but the miles they don’t!
My last two (unpaid) jobs were failed start-ups.
I’ve got the idea I need for another turn in the barrel, but can’t afford the barrel!
If someone out there wants pressure sensors that cost fractions of a cent, send ‘em my way.
I have fully functional prototypes...
It's not just that. They won't take experience at a starting salary.
Until the economy improves and some HR droids get drop kicked to the sidelines, it will remain the same.
The 'small thing on the side' does help, but you have to be careful going black market.
'Eff 'em. I've reduced the expenses so much that I can pan-handle enough to pay the bills.

I expect things to pick up after the election.
“I’m 70 and today took on a new client”
Great news.
As Clint Eastwood said in character, "A man has to know his limitations!"
Next time you see her tell her to thank God they aren’t painful...:O) but I can beat that. Did home health care for a gal 94, she wanted to know why she had arthritits...shocked, I told her....for God sake Grace your 94......she was still getting her husbands pension when he worked at Ford decades ago....one day she said, I’ll bet every time they right my check someone at Ford says...for cripes sake why doesn’t this old woman die......she also had a sense of humor. Lived to be 96
She had my interest until she said she was all of 35. After that it read like the shallow piece of fluff it is.
