It isn\'t even that if you don\'t plan on using it in the industry.

Funny.. how most of you guys still got it wrong...

Within that 3 months internship I learned stuff about the gamesindustry pipeline. I found out by experience,  a confirmation about the stories which we all knew from the media/internet, rationally.

Technically i learned stuff applicable to general 3D work which I will continue to do and still love. It was 50/50 for them and me. On a longer term that balance would have shifted more towards them. I foresaw that, hence my decision.

I\'m just sharing with you guys, a reallife experience, a story about the development of games you and I play. It\'s the kind of insight you don\'t get unless you go in there and actually do it.

Sigh !

The initial deal was ;  I applied for 3D job.

They offered to me an unpaid internship, from August 4th to November 4th. (with me paying all costs myself, including relocation & housing 367 Euros p/month and a 1100 Euros deposit and 550 Euros agent\'s commission)

November 4th they offered me a 3 months extension of that internship with no guarantee for a contract on February 7th of 06.

The game project we were working on, is due on Xbox360 Live ...... in February 06.

Couple that to the earlier statements of lotsa hours p/week & do the math...

Exactly what I was thinking. They\'re in the business of staying in business. If they get your ass for free, you think they\'re going to give you a reach around? Hell no.

+1 for turning this into another gay porn thread. :p

Internships are actually pretty popular to those of you goons who went to college.

Both parties benefit, even if the intern isn\'t hired full-time.  Getting contacts in any industry is always important if you really want to break into it.

Work experience alone is worth it, but at some point I guess you have to decide if your heart is in it.
