Hi Zach, welcome to Hacker news. I'm sure you've been scouring the internet looking for a job/experience, and getting disappointed as well. That's alright, happens to a lot of us. Heck, given a chance, I'd jump my job and look for something cooler too. The thing is, Hacker news isn't a jobs board. This is a community for startups. I'm kinda certain most of the people here aren't looking for experience, they're more interested in building stuff, and they learn/figure out how to do it by themselves. Google is your friend! Certifications and resumes are unimportant when it comes to these things. People here are more interested in the 'what have you done', rather than the 'what would you like to do', or even worse, 'how many months did you spend at company X'. PS- imho, when you do go out into the world (you're 18, so I'm assuming a bit here) of job hunting, you might want to skip using your myspace link and METAL.EVIL mail addresses. They don't make you seem professional. Don't get me wrong, I love speed metal as much as the next guy, but I'd rather not be judged on that basis by a potential employer. Best of luck!
