In fact, if you're new to an industry you shouldn't let that kind of clause scare you away. You'll be getting more than a paycheck from them.Experience - Yes, on the job experience meeting someone else's deadlines day to day while creating and collaborating with others is different then making something at home. Contacts - I can't stress enough how valuable this is. Not only will you meet people at your place of employment, but trade shows will introduce you to a lot more, especially on the media side of things. (depending on your job of course). Contractors who can get the job done well and on time, are also people you'll want to stay in contact with.After you've made a name for yourself in (name your industry) and can pick and choose what you want to do, then feel free to turn down companies with such clauses. But you should seriously consider working for them despite that when you're new.</blockquote>
