    - it's such bullshit, but there really is a glass ceiling here if you don't have an MEd. so I could get that, I guess. -- nm - amanda Jun 27, 09:58 7
      - I can't remember who it was who was recently fired for lying on his resume, but I wouldn't care, because of the stupid glass ceiling issue. - Max Jun 27, 10:02 5
