Now the job market is so crazy. A competent person can have the deck stacked against him if the company’s affirmative action profile doesn’t meet standards. If I started a business, all my “help” would be robotic.
When I was forced to work after my divorce, I had to go to computer school. I knew I would never get a job unless I was trained in computers. Of course, back then, I learned DOS and Lotus 1-2-3. I don’t remember either, but I was the first person to score 100% on Kelly Services computer test. (Back in LA, a day before the Rodney King riots.)
