I'll be doing my work experience at Nintendo!! I'm very lucky to have gotten it, because normally you need to sign up years in advance. Even employees can't get their kids positions! It's in April, so I'll update then and tell you all how it went.

SWEET!!!!!

 

Here in the US, Nintendo has "high standards" for accepting employees. You have to get a BA in computers or graphics engineering. Sometimes masters degrees.

oh hooo *jealouw* congratulations! that sounds super fun tell us how it goes, what are you doing for them?

I'm doing yr 10 work experience - do you do that in the US? i would assume you do, but I dunno. Nintendo is a bit different here though, because none of the game creation is done in Australia. It's just distribution, but exciting nonetheless

No, I don't know what year 10 whatever is, could you please explain it a little more?

[cassidy 0]

Well essentially you just find an employer willing to take you, then spend a week with them, either doing odd jobs or observing the workplace. You get paid for it, but just a very minimal amount (something like $5 a day ).

I did my work experience at British Telecom in 1994, during my year 10.

 

I worked harder than anyone else during that month.

While I'm up there, maybe I can get a replacement part for my gameboy. The back battery thingy's broken, and the snib's fallen off. I have to secure the batteries in with stickytape
