what i learned as a gamedev: the saying, "do what you love for a living and you never work a day in your life", is false. it's actually, "do what you love for a living and what you love becomes a job." what you need is a job you don't mind doing, which is the scam of higher education, because you plunk down all that money or debt or both, and years of time, and you get no guarantee that there'll be any job for you, but worse, you have no idea if you want to do that job. meanwhile, corporations have plenty of people to pick from who need to get a job in their field, either for financial reasons or psychological ones, who trained themselves at their own expense. the idea that such a large block of people are cornered into acting against their own interests and in the interests of such a small block of people almost makes one question the idea of liberal democracy.
