Odd. When I divorced my first husband, I took a battery of tests to find out what I was best suited for in the working world. It came back as “forest ranger,” but because I was a woman, they wouldn’t even consider me.

My next stop was the post office, and they said I would never qualify because I would have to lift “up to 100 pounds,” and I only weighed 147 at the time.

I ended up going to work for Greyhound, and I was lifting packages “up to 100 pounds” above my head.

Maybe I should have gone back to the Post Office...;o]

Some young women don’t realize how advantaged they are with respect to career choices. What’s concerning is the economy. It’s difficult to survive on one salary for many couples. *sigh*
