[quote=Anonymous]When I was 30, a new assistant was assigned to me, and I was shocked when I met her and she was almost 50. Turns out she was changing fields and had gotten herself an internship the previous year in the field. It was hard to get because internships are generally reserved for kids receiving college credit, but eventually she found one. She was wonderful and I gave her more responsibility than I normally would so that she could learn the job. I liked that she was responsible and smart and hardworking and worldly, when the new college grads were hit or miss and sometimes clueless and deer-in-headlights. If you find someone to give you a chance, it could work out really well.[/quote]
