The World is so Ageist

Hey guys, sorry for the late post, it was one of those moments where you get home, pass out, and wake up at 6:15 thinking, "Shit, I forgot to post"

Anyways, today's class was pretty sweet, I find that it's always a nice little change to have professional writers come in and talk. The point I found interesting was when Todd Babiak was talking aboot how people in larger Canadian cities feel that staying in Edmonton hurts their chances whereas other countries in the world think the same of all Canadians. After I heard that I thought, "Dude, the world is so ageist"
Authenticity of one's identity and culture seems to be half defined by the culture itself and half by its age, it's ridiculous but so true. It's like the job interview on steroids. Half the battle is making sure you show your potential boss that you are qualified for the job, and this could involve anything from being a little computer savvy to having that University degree in "such and such" field. The other half is all you baby, you gotsta be charismatic and show this guy that you have "the stuff" he needs to make his company better. While I admit that I know (sometimes myself included) people who just talk their way in and out of situations, it does seem unfair when the less qualified but more charismatic guy wins over the super qualified socially inept hermit guy. To culminate this idea, age seems to define that "charisma" for the job interview of cultural acceptance. Edmonton is young compared to Ottawa, so a really smart guy from Edmonton would thrive better in Ottawa and heck, while he's at it he might as well go to London, there he'd kick ass and take names like nobodys business.
I dunno how well much you are gonna wanna take that but yeh, there's my thoughts
Cheers!
