Job discrimination for 1000 please, Alex (Score 1)

You want job discrimination? Try going into a tech interview in your mid 40s while using a wheelchair. I'm 46 and have been doing this work for almost half my life. I'm familiar with current technologies (i.e. I don't need to work on an AS-400 or a Vax to get the job done) - but I recently interviewed for a job where I had everything in the job description in spades - plus other stuff that was brought up in said interview - yet was passed over for a guy who was a month or two away from finishing his CS degree ... and wasn't even a zygote when I started working in the software industry. It's frustrating, to say the least. Like someone mentioned on this topic earlier, I'm getting close to bankruptcy and a Top Ramen diet. And I'm far too old to eat Top Ramen. My disability affects neither my mind nor my ability to write good code, my age doesn't either. I refuse to believe that it does.
