Many people claim they already have their fair share of 'lost' programmers and don't need any more....

Amesjustin,
firaxis has been hiring for a long time, but they couldn't find people good enough.

Upon successful completion of one hundred games at Deity level, the player will have the possibility of playing at Overgod level. Upon proof of winning ten games in a row, the successful player will be asked to join the firaxis Advanced Computer Games Team based in Alma Alta as Senior Creator until mandatory retirement at the age of 75, subjet to mutual agreement on salary, pension benefits, free game hours etc.

You will find all the details in the standard 'Instruction Manual CivIII' page 237.
You should read your manual more carefully...

A simple degree won't cut it. Looks like they are looking for a seasoned guru - they do need one to get back on track. I never got my degree (aside from a general AA), but I have three years programming experience, and 2 certs with a third coming down the pipe and if theses are the real requirements I might as well apply for an intern position!
