p, please help me understand why some internships require candidates be able to receive college credit to be eligible. i'm not in college. haven't been for a long time. but i just saw an internship w/a stellar production company that i would love a shot at. production is something i recently fell into as a freelancer. i love it, have some experience and want to learn more from this amazing team. but i can't, simply because i'm not in college. what the hell? is there a way to buck the system?!
