<< there are three main factors to consider [in a job]:

Significance: Is the work itself significant?
Environment: Is it a good work environment?
Pay: Does it pay well? >>

Of course, there's always the portfolio approach:

- Get a non-gaming related job that provides points 2. and 3.
- Providing 2. means that you have iddle time to work on your games.
- Providing 3. means you don't depend on the money raised with the games to live.

That way, writting games only needs to provide 1.

Hi,

Yep. Which is why most folks in the industry have a day job. You've got it exactly right.

Cheers,
