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.
