She does. A lot of entry level positions, aren't. Well, that is to say, it's still the same job, but they require experience.
Some industries have even gone beyond unpaid internships to gain experience, and require you pay for the privilege. All the while complaining about how hard it is to find people.

I blame the 'infinite growth' model.
It's not the direct answer for everything, but it's the source of a lot of America's economic and job market issues. That along with the typically ass-hattery directed towards convicted felons. But that side of things has already been discussed at length.

Oh, those are a number of reasons why we're fucked. Given the housing situation, especially here in California, we really need to do something where people can afford a reasonable standard of living somewhere within five miles of their workplace, regardless of industry or education.
Wingy:
Clearly Sam's had a growth spurt, though I'm not so sure I like the boyishness displayed. We shall see. Of course, she could intern at CoD while Emily is away.
RE: May's body. I still think a swap of some sort where Roko ends up donating her current chassis to May would cause all kinds of hilarity and force May to grow up some more.
Zebediah:
