Derrick Thomas Discrimination in Real Estate Investment
30 June 2017 | 88 replies
He later came down to the office in person to meet her and go over some things, small Jewish hat thing on his head and all... it worked out great after the initial double take and dropped jaw, and laughs were had, but it highlights well that, yes, identity stuff still matters to consumers/sellers/buyers/etc no matter how much some might like to pretend otherwise.Real estate professionals generally cannot discriminate on the basis of the federally protected classes.

That extra few years of schooling will earn you so much more money over your career.Sadly many just go for bachelor degrees which are worthless in many cases.Almost all these applicants will have bachelor degrees.The paper won't get you the job it will be how you present and sell yourself and networking skills.So certain fields it pays to have a degree.Most don't know what they want in college and get a Bachelor of Business degree etc. that covers many jobs.Most of these students are saddled with MASSIVE student debt and oh by the way the student loans are relentless in recovery and cannot be discharged in a bankruptcy.The government WANTS their money.I might go back to college someday just to graduate but I don't know.Probably years later when I retire.

Jeff S. Discriminating against felons
7 April 2012 | 13 replies
"blanket discrimination against felons"I think these ordinances will be deemed unlawful or overturned or changed and watered down to a point that they don't have any real teeth to the ordinance.A felon is not a federally protected class.Blanket is the key word you used which would imply SWEEPING discrimination which would be almost impossible to prove.A landlord would simply find another reason not to rent to them.Just like a contract there are always more loopholes to use if you don't want to do something.
