    I graduated college a couple years ago with a comp sci degree. I had dreams of game dev as a kid, but anxiety about pay and affording a house plus just the overall shittiness in the games industry pushed me elsewhere. I’m currently in a QA automation job for a consulting company… wondering if I’m going to become you in 10 years

      If you’re trans too then add that to the list lol. I got pulled away from the industry for stability reasons but I’m not in that situation anymore. I’ve only ever wanted to be a game dev, as a kid it never occurred to me to be anything else, it still doesn’t. I know I’m not one of those hotshot early twenties devs who cracked into the industry right away, I’m a bit slow to it, but I’ll get there if it kills me
