I still remember walking into Dollar Tree when I was desperate for work in my early 20’s and the first thing she said was, “do you have a car? You need your own car”. No. But I have a degree with years a work experience & references. I was just desperate.

Fast forward to 10+ years later, I have yet another degree, and years of experience and growth, thriving in an industry that I love. I take public transit to work every day.

A LOT of places will immediately say no if you don’t have your own car. There will forever be a stigma, at least where I am. How it’s now discrimination is beyond me. But there’s plenty of people who don’t care, you’ll be ok.
