Yeah. I saw that, and thought the same damn thing, Heath. I went to university, but seeing stuff like that makes me mad. I suppose you could laugh - the irony of linking videoblogging, poverty and specifying a mandatory degree is pretty absurd, so maybe they're just kidding. Send in a

I'm with you Heath on this one. I think Verdi's advice is sound and if you are interested in the job to give it a shot. Make a demo movie for them. I've had that happen to me many times. I had the knowledge and practical know-how. Didn't have the degree. I would get turned down. My feeling is
