I remember back in the day when i spent 23 hrs a day on a mmo. I got top of server and realized wtf was point. I hope that everyone one of these poor souls reaches that point too.
Then you realize it's the same with a career. What the fuck was the point is what you will be thinking at 60 years old.
Though I very much agree with sentiment, Sadly money.
I think this concept is a good one to help ppl find what they need to find in their lives.
It's a good idea but I think many professions are killing the love people have for it. For example, I liked tech until it become full of meetings, scrum, bad managers, stress, reorgs, and so on.
Scrum made my workplace better. It is run by peers, not management though.
Amen. Not many ppl are so fortunate to find stable place or even the mobility to go find it but if you do it's great.
Well, at least you got paid during your career. MMO, not so much.
False. I'm a decade out and I'm mostly still enjoying the learning and the challenge of it all.
Do what ya love and you'll never work a day in your life.
