He told me that was dumb and should instead go into something reliable like IT, because "most people don't make it." I'm interested, how did you make the change from IT to Game Development? Did you go back to school? Were you programming on your spare time? I'm at the point where I make a decent living. I graduated school in 2008 with a degree that I wasn't all interested in. While the degree required more schooling, I decided to branch elsewhere to learn the true value of a dollar and share the similar feelings that my friends and most people in my city were feeling. I worked as a bank teller for about a year and hated it. I decided that I would move out of state to learn how to pay bills. I got a position at a big bank and work in a call center environment. I moved out of my parent's basement and living with relatives still (I'm moving on up!). But even though I'm making double what I made as a teller, my job is so soul crushing and upper management makes it harder than it should be. I read an article about the "Quarter Life Crisis" that a lot of "millennials" are going through these days and I really hope I don't make a mistake regret with a potential career change. But then again, I don't want to be complacent with this new job. My advice to anyone who is living in their parent's basement is to find any job, save money, and when things seem like its feeling worse, make a change. Life isn't a race and always be hungry for more. I know it might now mean a lot now, but at least you are getting out of rock bottom.
