If your world domination plan isn't paying for itself, you're doing something wrong.

They don't really start to pay off until the government ransoms start flowing in. Prior to that you really have to stay under the radar. Fortunatly volcano lair construction often results in some really nice gemstone finds, and that can tide you over until you start recieveing the entire GDP of major developed countries. That and all the black market organ selling, but thats a given.

I tried digging up an article I read about unpaid internship a while back. Instead I find a metric crapton of articles like these:

You can get Americans to do anything if you come up with enough ways to bullsh*t them into thinking it's a good idea. No amount of "awareness" about these kinds of problems will stop people from exploiting others for free or underpaid labor so long as there are people dumb/desperate enough to go along with them.

The whole point of an internship is to give people who don't have sufficient skills to get a job the opportunity to gain those skills (and a foot in the door in terms of future job application within the field in question). If you did an internship 3 years ago, and now need to get a job that support you and can still only get an internship position, that's kind of a reflection on you.
All he's likely to accomplish is the elimination of a good number of internship positions. At the end of the day, I'm not going to pay you for a job you aren't capable of doing.

When I think of any of those three things I imagine want ads in the paper and on all of those job search websites. Every one that I have seen demands applicants have several years of experience doing those things. How does one coming out of school in this day and age become a plumber or electrician?
Lie, stupid. The consequences of lying to corporate HR are nil. There is no reason to be honest with them, ever.

We are using plumbers and electricians as examples here. Can you imagine lying about experience with either of those things ending well? I suppose lying is fine if you're applying for a job that pays well but doesn't by any means require any skill or prior knowledge.

Every advertised position we post always stipulates 3-5 years experience. How often do you honestly think we hire someone with 3-5 years experience in that specific field?
Donate. One day it could be your family.

I don't think, Ugly, and that's why I'm a perfect fit for your company.

That depends. What field is it?

But are you hiring people who lie about it, or just accepting applicants who don't meet the requirements?

That's what I thought. My experience has been similar. They put those requirements in there to make it clear they want someone with some experience/skill in that area. Even if you don't have all the years requested, any experience that's related in your resume will help. Worst thing that happens is that you don't get called for an interview. But if you don't apply because you think they'll be complete sticklers on the experience, you guarantee that worst case result.
Lying, however, is probably not a great idea. If you're caught lying in the interview, that's an automatic no-hire.

Barely relevant story incoming:
A few months into a job at a small computer repair shop, while chatting with the owner he was surprised by something I'd just told him.
"What do you mean, you don't have a degree? Or certifications? Not even an A+? Man, that's the last time I hold interviews in strip clubs!"
Actually, we'd met at a Dunkin Donuts and he was already shaking from a couple of espressos by the time I got there, so he had a bit of a hard time paying attention to the interview.

I might have to start getting my caffeine from Dunkin Donuts if they've started having strippers.

Still won't make their coffee drinkable.
Just as Planned.
They should get a Keurig.

They should. Dunkin Donut's coffee is the most awful stuff ever. It comes standard with cream and sugar as that's the only thing that gives it any substance at all.
I learned that the empty space in the little k-cup is filled with nitrogen to prevent oxidation. So presumably, the coffee is ground, cupped, gassed and sealed all in short order; making them pretty darn fresh tasting.

I never had issue with DD's coffee but my tolerance for coffee is pretty high. In fact, much like beer, the more frou-frou it is the less I'm interested in it.

Only reason I'd get coffee at Dunkin Donuts was to, yannow, dunk donuts in.

I bet you get an oil sheen on your DD coffee from dunking your DD donut into it.
