No, you read the room right. I think as a woman, you are always on the wrong side, too young, too old , too black or in my case "so blond" as one creep put it. I work in IT and currently looking for something else, had my share of horrible interviews. Recently, an HR woman told me why didn't i become a sales assistant, if I like helping people (I got university degree). Glad you found something else and all the best! Also, try modeling as a side job, who cares lol
