So close, yet so far….
Publishing companies are scattered around the L.A. and Orange county area.
I’ve actually been considering that lately.

Yeah its way too far away from where I live… Bummer!
Still, it would take a while to work your way up the chain, especially starting out not even getting pain. D:

Lucky lucky! I’m only 15 minutes away (in San Francisco), and I’m a junior studying communications!
Yeah, it’s a non-paying internship, but hey, it’s Capcom!

Darn, if only I was going to school a little closer (I’m a couple hours away) I would totally do this. I already fit the other two criteria. Plus, it would be a nice foot in the door to a company with branches in Japan (I’m hoping to be an English teacher, but I’d take another gig if it would get me there). Oh well, such is life.
