I was very excited to read through this job description (at first). I have become very jaded with the software industry and its pattern of incestuous development (i.e., technology for technology for technology). Teaching, however, is something I've always had a passion for, though never pursued. In my college days, I was always hanging around the computer labs helping people understand course material, both because I enjoyed helping others learn, and I realized that the more I taught, the more I understood the material myself.

Unfortunately, while I'm an experienced full-stack JavaScript engineer (primarily working in the MEAN stack), I have no experience with Rails, nor am I a graphic designer with extensive Photoshop knowledge. So, here I am, in between the UI/UX and Fullstack Mentor positions -- AKA Bummersville.

Either way, the non-traditional education provided by Bloc looks fantastic, and ultimately, I'm very happy to see these programs becoming more popular, even if there's no place for me to be apart of it.

From the linked page, under "Minimum Requirements":

>> Resident of one of the following states: Alabama, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Washington, or Wisconsin

That's an odd requirement for a remote position, isn't it?

> Minimum requirement: Eligible to work in the United States

Damn
