So, I have this character, who - as a result of some recent events in-game - has been thinking about quitting - or at least getting into a field where he can use his skills without feeling conflicted about it. (he's never going to do it, I'm closing in on 100 Karma and I'll be damned if I retire him willingly, but it ought to make for some interesting RP if it comes up)

He's basically a street sam - but with no visible cyber to speak of, a pretty decent Charisma and people skills, good electronics skills, and a growing proficiency in Biotech and First Aid...

Which made me think - if he wanted to get out, do you think he'd have a shot at getting a job with, for example, Doc Wagon? Do corporations ever do that kind of thing? Could a highly skilled individual that decided to go legit expect help from a prospective employer on getting all the SIN/permit business out of the way?

And what's your best bet at getting a legitimate job after quitting as a runner - assuming you don't want to be working the counter at the stuffer shack, or security at some mall...
