One of my first jobs was programming. My dad asked me to write some statistic programs for him for something he was doing, I had no clue what that was about, but I wrote what he wanted.
It was in BASIC, and simple, but I printed it and took it to a place that was looking for programmers, and they wanted 2 years this and that, but I went anyway and got the job.
I told the guy to let me come in one day and play with his system and see what I can do, and then hire me if it looked like I could do it, but they just hired me right away after I was interviewed. Probably because I was good at programming, sort of a natural I suppose.
The job was programming BASIC anyway, so I fit right in. It was very boooring!
The only problem is I quit after a short time because I just felt like it, I was young and didn't really care about the money (living with parents does that). So this poor guy was depending on me and I let him down by quiting.
That is the only drawback to hiring a young kid living at home.
So forget all those requirements for a BS this and two years that, and go for it, Find a job that you can stand for the long haul, that won't be too booring. Or be honest with the guy and say its only for summer etc...
