Yeah!! I'm from jersey it'd be sweet to have something like that around here.

If you guys want to actually work FOR a label, then being an intern is a good thing. But if you just want a job around music...to learn and stuff, interning for a label sucks. You spend at least 6 months sucking dick for free. How do you think some of these labels stay afloat? They have free labor and a few real employees. The whole situation is kinda crappy.

There's better, more effective ways to get into the industry and learn your stuff, if that's what you really want.

That might be with other labels. Its not true with Hopeless, if you intern there you will learn things.

I'm not saying you wouldn't learn anything. I'm just saying, I think there's better solutions to get what you want than by interning. There's better ways to learn.

i would love to work for a record label like hopeless.

i've had an idea for quite some time now to start my own label. i'm actually researching the music industry and all this other shit..

Given my experiences, I'm going to completely disagree with you.

If you want to work for a label, quit complaining that there are none around you. Get a job, second, or third. Save money. Make friends in LA. Move there and fucking make it happen. Sitting around and wishing wont get you anywhere.

I have to disagree. To get in the industry you need to start to make connections. Interning for a label helps you do that.
