Within one day of applying to a Student Developer position for the Web Integration Team at my school, I was offered an interview. At the interview, all my interviewer did was ask about these plugins, how I made them, what they did, and etc. I was then immediately offered a job. After I accepted the job offer, my interviewer said: "We don't normally offer this graduate position to freshman... (etc)." She has failed to mention that part of the job description on purpose so that I wasn't scared during the interview.
Needless to say, I've been working as a Student Developer for over two months now and it is the best job ever. I work when ever I want to, I can telecommute when ever I want, and I can even work during my boring classes for some extra hours.
tl;dr:
Starcraft: It pays off.
