@uskoolfish , that is a fabulous story. Thanks for sharing!
My D interned full time with a casting agency in NYC last summer, and said the same thing to me–that all the younger people (in their 20s, early 30s) she encountered in that field were highly qualified, but paid abysmal wages. Several had two jobs to make ends meet. She wondered out loud to me how one got from assistant or coordinator to the actual head of an agency, and I had no idea how to answer her! It was so smart of your D to pursue her MBA. Congratulations to her!!!
