<p>Maybe it’s not worth it, but sitting down when someone just ignores all my hard work doesn’t really show any dedication to anything, in my opinion. It’s not like I won’t use the summer to learn more, do more, build something, etc. But I don’t want to let the world walk over me starting here, starting now. What if I graduate college and no one will hire me based upon my gender and/or last name? Besides, I’m interested in finding out what BS this guy spews at me when I ask him why I wasn’t even interviewed. I’m really tired of my last name getting in the way of my life, and I’m starting to feel annoyed that maybe the reason I get talked down to and discouraged so much by post-secondary counselor is because I’m a girl, and that such treatment isn’t going to stop there. I know this isn’t the place to bring it up, here in this little forum and all, but honestly, in a forum filled with highly intelligent people, how many of you would not stand up for yourself when you don’t get hired for a job in a math or science related field because of the color of your skin or the organs in your body?</p>
<p>To Ben: That’s why I wanted to ask him in person what the deal is, and why I wasn’t even interviewed. I don’t know why he couldn’t have even interviewed a seventh person. As far as what we know and what we do, my friend that got hired and I are pretty level, and I should have at least been interviewed.</p>
