Women would rather empower themselves than wait for opportunities to open their doors. My children were in college when I realized I wanted to get back to the corporate world or research projects like I used to do. While scanning the classified ads in 2003, I read not over 30 years old... or not over 40 years old. How discouraging. Call center companies provided job opportunities for any age group along with other qualifications, but spending graveyard shifts was out of the question.
