I'm with you Heath on this one. I think Verdi's advice is sound and if you are interested in the job to give it a shot. Make a demo movie for them.
I've had that happen to me many times. I had the knowledge and practical know-how. Didn't have the degree. I would get turned down. My feeling is they will hire someone who has a degree who will do a google search for "videoblogging" grab enough lingo to bs the interview and then try to figure it out after they get the job. Might be a few lurkers doing that just now for corporate M$M.
