    first 2 paragraphs were just red flag after red flag

    I moved back to my hometown after college because there was a job that offered to get my foot in the door of the game industry. I was pretty despite and I just graduated with a second diploma in that industry and had a lot of student loans.

    disparity leads to blindness. I was also pretty burnt out after college years of all nighters and high stress assignments compiled with relationship issues and family issues. I’d have taken anything willing to hire me just to get some structure back into my life.

    I moved back to my hometown after college because there was a job that offered to get my foot in the door of the game industry. I was pretty despite and I just graduated with a second diploma in that industry and had a lot of student loans.

    The job was to a an in-game service rep for Trions Rift mmo. I was working via a third party but the assured me that if I did well they’d become the tier 2 support center and get some dev work.

    That turned out to be complete bullshit. After 3 months of watching the team get fired for every tiny infraction they announced we where all to be moved to a banking project.

    So I did the 2 weeks of training for the bank thing while scrambling to get any other job. I had a few promising roles as a disboy which actually paid better. So day one after training I fucked up an account somehow and locked off 50k of someone’s money by putting it into the wrong account.

    I said fuck it and went home. Was slinging dishes a few days later. Didn’t land a real job till about a year or 2 after. Never got into the game industry but that’s probably for the best.
