#3 zombie_babies Jan 17, 2013 13:37:57	Yeah, some requirements can be kinda silly.  Still, no reason to prostrate yourself before a potential employer - especially for an internship - more fervently than you would before your own god.  EDIT: That's why you need to network, man.  Talk to people and use them.  Someone will probably know of a job somewhere and may be able to help you get it.  Gotta be unlike most D&D players to get it done.  ;)
