When I was 20 and went to get jobs it was, 'you're too young', or 'you don't have any experience'. So I joined the army... Soon I wasn't in the army, nor in my 20's any more, but then it was, 'you don't have the right experience', or 'gee we'd like someone with even more experience', now I'm older yet, and still I get, 'gee you don't have the right experience,' or 'we'd like someone with yet more experience in that area', or finally I'm beginning to get, 'well you're just too old...'
Yet I never seemed to get the right experience, and when I was young no one would hire me. Now I admit, for reasons I will not say, I wouldn't hire myself... but then again, yes I would for a lot of jobs if I could make them pay, I'd do them right now, but no one wants to hire as a 'contractor', 'we have someone doing that already...' so... here I sit getting older, no wiser, and wondering, how I missed out on getting experience that would see me hired....
