I don't believe the jobs are unattainable. You have to be a special "type" of secretary to be able to work outside the US. You have to have a thick skin and learn not to be offended about the little things.
Working internationally for years, there is so much discrimination against females in the work force. I've worked with businessmen from all over the world and their attitude towards secretaries is generally pathetic. I'm not saying that all are like that, but I have to say the majority of those I worked with were very biased.
Who has come the farthest in respecting women in the workforce? For me it was a tie between the Germans and the Japanese. I've never felt "second class" with any of the businessmen from these two countries. The worst? I'd have to say the British. I worked for one British gentleman and believe me, it was an experience I never want to repeat.
