Leaving University with a good Bsc degree in 1978 I was told my options were accountancy or teaching. Nothing really to do with my degree or what I wanted to do based on my degree! Quote from careers " if you had a first class honours (rare in those days) you would be considered...." Meanwhile the boys from my degree course with the same degree got snapped up by companies and after a couple of years could by houses and cars. I did of course fill in application forms for jobs I wanted but no replies. I am not an isolated case. Ask Carol Vordaman. She obviously has done very well but with her Maths degree wanted a different career but rejected for being female! So I would have liked my State pension at 60 as I have not been equal!!!!!

Nope women still don't have 100% equality in pay & in the workplace. Just loook at last year's BBC scandal over male & female presenters' pay, for a quick example. Raising the pension age for women to bring it in line with men's is the right thing to do, but it should be brought in with slow increments over a good number of years not a crash bang slap in the face for, particularly, 50's women.
