The paper résumé is egalitarian, more or less, and that's why human-resources people are wringing their collective hands over visually enhanced job applications. Many recruiters won't even accept CVs with photos attached for fear of lawsuits. Some companies even block out the candidate's name, citing studies that showed bias toward the white-sounding ones. They're worried that video résumés will invite lawsuits by candidates who could claim bias based on race, gender or age--indiscernible on paper but not on video.

The stipend during your training program (about $1,000 per month) was meager for a single dad. Did that bother you?
For me, it was never about the money. It was about the opportunity to have what eventually could be. It was about being involved with something I was absolutely passionate about. If you are doing a job just for the pay, then you are like a slave to the money. Better to do something that is so exciting that you can't wait for the sun to rise in the morning regardless of the money that you get for doing it.
