The interview is what gets the job. That's where you have to convince them to invest a shitload of money in you, so you better have something to offer, if not credentials.
Yeah, you definitely don't want to try this if you don't have balls of steel, but the main point is, so what if you have 100 failures in a row, so long as you try it at least 101 times?

Im willing to try it. Are short hair and clean shaven a must for these corporate jobs? What sorts of positions are good and easy to learn? Im thinking about applying to be an advertising or marketing director or something like that, Ive always thought Id be good at marketing and advertising.

If you are being truthful, good job #1. I wholeheartedly endorse what you are doing.
Do you steal stuff from around the office too?

Not necessarily, but being well groomed is a must. If you can pull off the wild unkempt old world professor look, that might work, but I can't so I don't know.

HR worked out well for me because it involves very little by way of tangible results. You can't easily quantify the effect of an HR position but you know you need it to exist. When there's an OSHA issue, I consult our corporate attorney for what to do. When there's a benefits issue, I consult our insurance agents for what to do. I look for little ways to improve the workplace, and listen with empathy when employees have an issue. Everyone thinks I am the bestest lol and all I do is basically act like a switchboard operator and occasionally get people a cell phone plan discount.

"Creative Director" would be easier I think...
