<p>Good luck!!! </p>
<p>I am only a high school senior, but I've found that with a lot of perseverance, resourcefulness, and just a cheery, creative outlook, you can get a lot of places. </p>
<p>I am young but nailed an internship at a company (where I got promoted in one year, from data analysis to writing to designing to working with customers), and now am building up a large portfolio for my own webdesign company. </p>
<p>I got a summer job that requires at the minimum a BA/BS, but in my cover letter and interview I highlighted my work experience, willingness to learn, etc despite not having a degree. I sat in the lobby with two college graduates, and I got chosen. </p>
<p>So, work hard and fly over any speed bumps that'll come your way. :) I'm sure you'll go a lot of places.</p>
