Recent college grad, working as a security guard till I find a REAL career in my field, which is game art, design, world building, 3d modeling, that sort of thing.
Software Developer for a big company doing software for the oil and gas industry.
Recession just hit us. Laid off all of us except for 3. Kept 3 out of 8. I'm one of the ones they kept. Lucky but huge survivor guilt.
We'll see how long I have a job for.
I too am a total whore. I do whatever the people that pay me tell me to, no matter how much I disagree or how painfull it can be (on the inside (((((((of my butt))))))))). VIDEO GAME ARTIST and total movie nerd.
But like someone else said, I'm also amazed that this stuff doesn't arrive in little pieces having worked for UPS for 3 years.
