When I first graduated from college and ventured out into the wide, wide world of publishing, I was told that I didn’t have enough experience. Specifically, I was turned down for the job I currently hold due to my lack of experience.
So what did I do? I went out and GOT experience. I got four freaking years of experience.
Apparently, this is no longer a requirement. What is a requirement? Beats the HELL out of me. Not experience apparently. Not talent, either. Must be blowjobs.
Am I bitter? Perhaps. But more than that, I’m shocked.
