She very well may have been discriminated against on monster.com, but she lost any sympathy that I had for her when I read that. If you want people to take you seriously, act like a professional.

>middle aged White man complaining that he was making only $80,000 which was $30,000 less than what he was making before. I thought to myself that in this economy, many would feel they’d hit the jackpot if they made 80K a year.
Losing approximately a quarter of your income sucks, it doesn't matter who you are. Just because a pay reduction is better than unemployment doesn't mean a person doesn't have the right to feel cheated.

If she wants her experiment to be taken seriously, she needs to stick to facts.
