		<description><![CDATA[Looking at a job posting for a random business online, I noticed that it says: "Looking For A Young Web/Graphic Designer" Um, unless said company has fewer than 20 employees... isn't that illegal? I'm no lawyer, but as far as I know, age is one of the protected statuses against which businesses can't discriminate. I [...]]]></description>
