From a corporate world (which I work in) there are plenty of females about in both seats. It's also a lot of fun if you find a good job. I have an awesome employer (yet we still find things to moan about, but I think that's just pilots), I'm doing about 550 hours a year and absolutely love my job, I get paid well and have various benefits including dental, healthcare, pension, and profit share. So good jobs do still exist.

It's true that jobs aren't hemorrhaging out of every corner of the world at the mo but for some who are looking hard there are opportunities. From a corporate point of view, being in your 30's may even have an advantage as a lot depends on your people skills during interview, if you come across as friendly, polite and professional you might be the sort of person they want interacting with the rich folk who pay the wages.
