Offensive to Creative Writing degree holders everywhere:
"One of her main responsibilities, “maintaining our ticketing software, keeping it up to date, building the new season into it every year, setting pricing and discount codes, and managing/processing all ticketing sales,” can be a tall order for a woman whose degree is in creative writing."
correct, because creative writing students are idiots! What does that have to do with anything? That's like saying, "she sure smokes a lot for a women that likes bananas."
