[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Her weight and major are not impacting her inability to find a job. [b]I am an obese English major who has never had a problem finding a job in corporate America.[/b] Sounds like that isn’t the type of job she wants. Have you tried talking to her about what she actually wants to do? You need to get yourself in order if you want any kind of future relationship with her. [/quote]

Are you a man? I can't imagine a young woman being successful in a similar position. [/quote]

People with beautiful faces easily find jobs, even if overweight. Most people, regardless of body type, aren't beautiful; approximately 10% of the population can be classified as beautiful people. For everyone else, the homely ones, both overweight and thin, it comes down to people skills, confidence, personality, charisma, likeability, connections, and skills, period.

I take it, OP, daughter isn't beautiful... my best guess is mom is a try-hard, may even be well put together, but she is no beauty. Sadly, her daughter didn't fill that hole for her, so she resents her.

So, Mom, your daughter may be onto something. Maybe you did handicap her; after all, beauty comes down to genes, so if she'd had better-looking parents, then yes, even in this painful market, and even with a liberal arts degree, she'd be gainfully employed by now. 100% your fault. [/quote]
