Work Experience with major games company.

My father recently did some legal work for a few high up guys at Rockstar North. I have compulsary work experience coming up at my high school. My ambition is to become a game designer or writer in the games industry.God.. some things seem to just work out. :DMy question for you, the experienced masses of GDNet, is it worth my time going for work experience with RN? Even if I'm the teaboy, at least I will see what an actual game company looks like from the inside. It would look good on my CV when applying for future game based jobs. On the other hand if I for some reason aren't getting a job related to games then a more usual placement would be more benificial...Your thoughts?

I had to sign an NDA when I went there for an interview (Which I didn't get, bah) before they would let me out of reception...

If you think that's bad, I'd been working on GTA4 for 2 years before I found out I was working on GTA4..... ;)

Everyone working there has to sign an NDA when they start work. This is legally binding agreement that you will not, under any circumstances, reveal any information about anything you have seen or heard whilst on site, to any third party.

Isn't that ... most game companies? I know I signed an NDA at my company the day I started.

Yes. It is. This thread has wandered sufficiently away from its original purpose that it's closed. If anybody wants to talk more about NDA's, start a thread in the Business/Law forum.
