A serious question: Where do you find companies who aren't looking for someone who wants to have no life outside of work, and has no relatable projects or experience to brag about? I do believe I am good at my "craft", am a quick learner, and am a direct communicator, but don't have a degree or certification to shove that notion down a prospective employer's throat like is expected of me. Every prospective employer I speak with seems to think I should have either a bachelor's degree or 5 years of experience on my resume. How do I get there outside of college and debt?
