    if someone graduated from college in 1982, i'm thinking mid 50s. what are you thinking?

    It is acceptable to omit graduation dates, but it can lead recruiters to think you are trying to mask your age.

    She earned a bachelor of science in engineering from Cornell University in 1982

    that's all you know form their resume

    is she in her 20s?

    her 30s?

    her 40s?

    probably her mid 50s

    you agree?

    maybe they went in the military for a few years. maybe. otherwise you get their age from the graduation date +/-2 years probably and +10 years at most. not even -10. the kid graduating at college at age 11 is a unicorn

    Although how would they know the age beforehand? It's not legal to ask and most people don't say.

    the year of your college education ballparks it, for 95% it pins your age exactly +/- 1 year

    well it's not like they didn't know her age either, they saw that before they called her too

    she probably has some bizarre social quirk/ issue that unfairly turns people off or raises genuine red flags about her ability to work with others competently. making cheese sounds romantic, it also sounds solitary

    Today, Fillekes' LinkedIn profile describes her career as a "cheese maker at Mohawk Drumlin Creamery." In 2014, "I bought a dairy farm in upstate NY. I designed and built an on-farm creamery to produce farmstead sheep's milk cheese and yogurt," she wrote.

    someone with her education who goes to make cheese... hey, that's really romantic. maybe she burnt out, maybe she has some social issue that prevents competent office interaction

    but maybe the real issue here is resume prejudice. where the guy or gal who takes 5 or 10 years off to pursue a passion never can get back in the game. which is especially true of women and the pursuit being having children

    the usa should be like the nordic countries, and have mandatory child leave for *fathers and mothers*

    that way having kids dings men's careers as much as women. otherwise, as long as child rearing impacts women disproportionately, women will never achieve parity with men in the office. nevermind that men want to spend time with their children and time with dad is just as important as time with mom if we really care about strong families in this country. put your money where your mouth is on your rhetoric about strong families, the presence of a father in a child's life, and family values in general, dear social conservatives, and promote equal family leave for men and women

    legality is not necessarily morality

    they mostly overlap, but where the two have the most problems is disproportionate punishment: massive jailtime for smoking marijuana cigarette or crushing financial ruin for downloading a file for example

    it was illegal for a black person to ride in a section reserved for white people. until last week it was illegal for gays to marry. it is illegal to smoke marijuana in most of the usa, but that will change soon too

    aaron swartz downloaded files. grooveshark shared files

    for this they are treated with more severity than actual murders

    this is not morality and not a legal status quo that requires your respect nor ensures your compliance

    where the punishments are massively more brutal than the crimes, you have a legal area itself which is immoral. for example (i'm not saying they are same, it's an analogy for you to understand the topic) in some places that practice sharia law, you chop off a person's hand for stealing, or stone them to death for adultery. this brutality means the legal status quo in that society is actually more immoral than the crimes they are punishing, and such societies do not actually prevent immoral and illegal acts. in fact, they simply convince citizens to treat each other and the authorities with as much cruelty as the authorities deliver to its citizens. we see areas of the world where brutality is proscirbed by authorities creating societies where violence and brutality reign as normal

    again, i'm not saying that file downloading is exactly like daesh, i am trying to make you understand how brutal punishments are not respectable and in fact result in worse social conditions

    in the same way, there is no respect due to the punishments that western countries like the usa proscribe for file sharing on the internet

    the proper response to the legal status quo is to defy and defile the illegitimate and immoral laws wherever and whenever you can, until there is enough of a fire that society demands a rethinking of the laws to be proportional to the actual moral severity of the crimes in question

    rather than the agenda of the corporations who have bribed the government to make the punishments so cruel, which is what you are really defending with your words: not morality, but corporate corruption

    now call me a douche. just like the guy who says "maybe we shouldn't chop people's hands off for stealing" can be called a douche by the type of people who think like you
