Reply #75: Yes, they wouldn't hire me because I was "too intelligent"

[SharonAnn]

They said that the only two jobs they had for women were Customer Service jobs and Operator jobs and i would get bored with them and either quit or stop doing well. Either way, they lose their training investment.

They told me to find a job that was more demanding and required more of my capabilities and i would be more successful.

At first I as angry about it because I needed a job. Later I realized that they were right. I've never been good at jobs that aren't demanding. I get bored easily and stop paying attention.

Of course they could've hired me for one of their demanding jobs but those were only for men.
