Okay, so I'm not (independently) licensed (but) I have (worked) five years experience with a licensed agency.

I meet all the other qualifications for a Michigan license. But I can not come up with five people who I have known for five years who would be willing to write nice letters about me as references.

Now, it's not like I don't have friends. But my philosophy of "people suck" doesn't bode well for long-term friendships.

I've got two specific problems: I've moved several times in the last 15 years, so I really haven't "known" that many people for five years. And the people I do know don't want a state trooper knocking on their door to ask any followup questions.

I figure I could scrounge up two or three letters, but not five.

Any experiences with this issue or any ideas on the topic?
