Where you truly discriminated or where you simply not the better option?
If it was discrimination, you could report the employer.

I was in the environmental field wanting to become a marine biologist. But there's no point in going back to that just so I can become an unemployed marine biologist again.
I suspect I am being discriminated against for being lower middle class. When you do on unemployment and food stamps, nobody wants you anymore.
Due to past experiences applying for jobs that I was overly qualified for and since I cannot think of any other reason, this seems most likely. You cannot really do anything legally if you have a feeling you've been discriminated again.
You need more solid proof.

How were you discriminated against?

(Is she still here?)

I don't think that food stamps is a reason to discriminate. Someone with more experience or more recent experience probably got the job. And its like that. The working world is like that. You go from one job to the next. Some of them are going to be because you're desperate. Some of them are going to rock hardcore. But that is what you do. And you use the time you have as a member of the unemployed to pursue other interests, maybe find something that you do have a knack for.

Hell... I delivered phone books before I got my first commission. >>

Looking into Anthro and Ling careers right now while listening to music and wondering what to have for dinner.

I think Anthropology is really interesting. I had some pretty awesome ANTH profs in college. Granted, some of them were militant femminists, but its their right to be what they choose. =]

I think if I didn't go into art, I would have gone into ANTH or PSYCH. Humans are fascinating.

Were there kitties? *u*

<3 kitties.

I studied some anthropology. It taught me that I am not a person strangely enough.
I do not meet their basic criterias of what a person is due to being asexual.
I like animals, do not like crazy anti social people who love animals and hate people though.

Sounds like your prof had a skewed idea of what a person was. We spent at least a week on non-sexual, asexual, transsexual, and bi-gender.

Ema: I showed that picture to the big, black woman who recites poetry and she goes "Is that ONE cat? I swear they took like several cats and sewed them together!"

Oh OK. Yeah asexuals were excluded as non existent. Today if I were taking that class, I would pointed them to AVEN.
Proof of the existence of asexuals. I don't recall these others being covered either.

You raised a one week old kitten?. Must have been difficult.

Our campus had a very strong LGBTQ presence and Boyd was a contributor to a lot of Pride organizations. The bulk of our class was based on a book called "She's Not There," which was a firsthand experience of someone who was born male and underwent a sex change during his marriage. Very interesting. He'd had these feelings all his life that he ought to have been born female and thought that marriage would change that, but it only magnified those feelings. Really fascinating read.

Ema: Kitty! >w<

You remind me of my girlfriend, btw. The way you talked about loving critters slightly more than people. xD

None of that existed at my college. I've never even met a transgendered person IRL.
I think I met/knew of 2-4 homeosexual people there.

We-ell... now you've talked to another one.

I know two transgenders and one bi-gender. Both trans are F-M. The bi-gender is a man.

*Rolls onto her back* I want pie.

Mmm... pie.

-wanders into the kitchen and fenagles a pie-

I've "talked" to a few transgendered people online, I just never met any IRL.
I did a see a person in a thrift store with what seemed like a man's voice wearing a dress. But they could have been whatever the other word is that I forgot right now.
For some reason, transgendered people are more common among asexuals. That where I've found most of them.

KITTY! :D

KITTY! Aww... so cuuuute. I see the little bandit face. =]

Claudia:I meant that I was of the homosexual nature. Not of the transgendered nature. Didn't want to cause any confusion.

You find them everywhere: dotting the population in little bits. The one I knew personally was a contemporary of mine while I was studying Animation. The other was a Sociology major. The bi-gender just graduated with a degree in technical theater.
