    My lack of both a HS and college degree, combined with a lack of industry experience (and work experience in general) and my age prevent me from having my dream job.

    This is why for me. well I know someone inside, but its doesnt have much power, so if a spot is available, they give it to some other people, because they are friends, with a person with a higher rank. :(

    From the job I want now - I'm a month away from graduating, and then I have to sit for the boards. Oh, and the fact that there are no jobs right now.
