You Might Have Got This Job Because They May Have Thought You Were a Woman

When interviewing for a job a while ago I was told that it would be difficult to convince corporate to hire me, since at that time I did not have a degree.  Later, after I got the job I was told that the degree thing didn't matter as much, because HR at corporate may have thought I was a woman.


I'm not sure if they were just teasing me or if affirmative action meant more than a college degree, but still an interesting story.
