yeah
my room mate's uncle used to work for EA
he was actually the lead developer for one of the MLB games before they lost the rights to it
and after he did that for a while he said fuck it, went to a school for culinary arts, now he's a chef at a restaurant somewhere and loves it over making video games and wouldn't trade it for anything

shittier salary? probably
but yeah, there's no point in making money if you aren't happy, and he's never been happier in his entire career path


tell me how you intend to live.

you can all preach this shit, but when push comes to shove, you wont budge.

ideally it'd be great to be able to make good money and really enjoy what you do

but if i had to choose i'd definitely go for enjoyment over money.

if money is your only goal in life go become a wall-street market guy or some massive corporate lawyer. otherwise just choose what you like and at least give it a go. so many ppl give up on dreams just because they want money to buy worthless shit they'll hardly ever use.

ofc, if making money is what makes you happy then go make money
i respect whoever can live on either of the extremes
if i had an opportunity to go be a Ruby dev for $150k salary i'd definitely do it over going to ubisoft for a $50k salary, but if somebody was in my same boat and would end up killing themselves out of depression from living in the middle of nowhere developing boring Ruby apps all day then they'd obv have a different facet of the whole cliché money vs happiness philosophy

Hah, I guess I was used to the emotionally dependent dude150 from a few weeks ago, who messaged me with "I CAN'T WIN, COME CARRY MEEEEE."
