Thank god, you can't hear my "accent" (hint, hint)Meeklo - you're accent is similar to when someone speaks with someone else's balls in their mouth.airey

- how come, you know that sound? lol.akrokdesign

- it was for me. but $12 is pretty cheap so you get what you pay for.airey

shrug.
the guy probably has been seeing nothing but garbage resumes from hipsters who have a stolen copy of dream weaver and think they're designers.

No amateurs is one thing, but no self-taught is ridiculous. Especially if the job is web design as the field is barely a decade old. I have a degree, but like most people, didn't hone my skills and develop as a designer until I was in the real world. You can only learn so much in school.
Also, I'm a completely self taught php programmer and can write strict oo mvc code with my eyes closed.

On the other side, they are only asking for 2-3 years of actual work experience. So that kinda balances it out too.

yes, carson is self taught. but the issue arises that a billion hacks that download the cs suite use that to bolster their false sense or reality.
- True!Meeklo
- Also true, there are billion BFA that have subpar work, can we agree on that?Meeklo
- It all comes down to what you can produce (for me at least)
Ignore what the person is saying, let the work speak for itself..Meeklo - itself, good work needs no introduction, as simple as thatMeeklo
- totally. the ability to self-crit is an issue for anyone.airey

it could be that they want a junior designer that has proven they can stick something out with a view to improvement. the degree at least shows that trait.

Monkeyshine is probably right that they were just responding to having to sift through a mountain of e-mails from unqualified applicants, hence the comment about self-taught designers.
To tell the truth, I always figured a degree was a requirement for a "professional" job, although I know that varies from country to country. Saying that it shouldn't be required for graphic design could have the effect of making it seem less professional than say, architecture or ID.
On the other hand, it's also true that higher education, in the U.S. anyway, is kind of a shakedown in a lot of ways. You're forced to shell out thousands a year (if you're lucky) and probably tens of thousands for four years of working on stuff that, on the substance of it anyway, will probably be mostly irrelevant to the rest of your life.

it's truly their loss. there are plenty of people that do not have BFA and are doing fine. It's a great filtering device to narrow a search down. as mentioned, this can also be reflection of the work atmosphere (fast paced, high stress, not-cool boss). or nothing at all.
Jesus loves you.
- he loves you too dibec. you're still not getting the gig though.zenmasterfoo
- ha! they couldn't afford me ! =Pdibec

I think all graphic designers should go on strike for 6 months (fuck, make that 1 year) around the world. Then we would see who fucking rules this stupid shit.

It's now or never.

lol Corvo, yeah! That'd teach them! Where would they be without us to add rainbow glows or to bitch about grids? The world would come to a stand still.
lol @ your bubble.
- You're fooling around. ok. But what if it really happened? Do you think they would do it for you?Corvo2
- Corvo20
Think about it.

Corvo ask your clients "You want the logo bigger?" and then quickly follow up with "YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE LOGO BIGGER!"
Then maybe quote Ghandi.

I've seen plenty of these 'demanding' job postings - and even more that simply say Don't Call, Don't Email
...and what about me, I have a BS - still a degree

Would be funny to have a global strike for 1 year. You can't say it wouldn't.
