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 video application and make that point, maybe.

My wife works for an organizantion here in Cincinnati www.cincinnatiworks.org and we (they) are working on the very issue of poverty, she doesn't have a degree and a few on the staff don't. and they are doing a damn good job of fighting poverty one person at a time. People in poverty don't need a piece of paper, they need hope, and they need to learn it and they need to learn that they can break the cycle and they need to hear from people who have done it and continue to do it, one day at a time. And you can do that without a piece of paper. And just to be clear I am not dismissing the work involved to get a higher degree, my "beef" is for something like a vlog I need a degree. I mean honestly how could having a degree in this situation make me a better vlogger or help communicate to the "masses" better?
