I’ve had my fair share of conversations with HR people who are somehow convinced that I’d be more qualified for their IT job if I had finished my Accounting degree instead of quitting college 15 years ago, regardless of the fact that I’ve been doing exactly what they are looking for someone to do for the last 6, but that’s probably another long article sometime when I’m in the mood to rant.

Anyway, even through all of those, it never occurred to me to just hire a hacker to insert me into the alumni database!
