I (22 M) have this friend (22 F) who for the sake of this conversation I will just call Sarah. Anyways Sarah always tells me that she and her fiancé (21 M) are a lot of the time broke, and low on cash. Shitty economy am I right? Sarah currently has this job at a local college where she takes in phone calls at a office. She tells me that the pay isn't great, and she doesn't do a whole lot of work. Meanwhile Sarah's fiancé is not in school and he works multiple jobs at restaurants, just to make ends meet with the rent.

Obviously these are my friends that I care about and if there is anything that I can do to help them I will. Sure enough that opportunity to help them came one day when the boss at my job told me about an opening that pays well. It won't make you a millionaire over night but it defiantly pays more then Sarah's boring ass phone call job.

For context the job is very simple. The company I work with plays trivia, and bingo games for local bars and restaurants in the state county I and Sarah live in. The company provides you with the equipment like computers, with the games already downloaded, and speakers because music is also played during the games as well. All you have to do is go to the place, play the game, collect cash, and boom your are done. Schedules can be easily changed, pay is good, and all and all it's quite entertaining.

The fiancé is beyond shy, and he hates talking to crowds, but Sarah loves performing, being the center of the stage, and being entertaining. And this job always encourages you to be creative, and entertaining when you play the games. I thought this is the perfect job for Sarah. I quickly tell Sarah about the job opening, what it does, and that I can put in a good word for her but weirdly enough she honestly becomes a little offended when I mention this.

She says "Pretty girls don't work", and that if she were to take this job she would be working mainly at night, and that would put her in danger because she is a woman. Long story short she got pissed at me.

My goal was not to piss her off, and to be a dickhead. I wanted to help with her, and her fiancé's money worries. The job has many women who work the nights, and have nothing but good things to say about it, and the money is good. However at the same time it might have came a crossed as being dickhead, and something flew over my head. If I did miss something I will admit that I was wrong, and truly try to be better in the future. So AITAH?
