Education and work

PreviousPage 3 of 6Next

I attend the Art Institute of Atlanta as a full-time (12 credit hour / 3 class per semester) student and I work a full-time 40 hour a week job. Additionally, in my spare time, I am working on a prototype for an RTS MMO. I also I run several websites (including this one) as well as manage about a dozen game servers.

I probably do about 70 to 80 hours of work in a week.

Depends on your profession. I moved to Seattle and now have a full time position as a software developer for amazon.com. They are still looking to fill a ton of open positions.

Did you ever give them my resume like you said you would?

I did, but the review process is slow and they have a long queue of resumes at this time. I referred a few people and none of them have been contacted yet.

We'll just say that I'm not into my college years yet. ;) Therefore, also, I of course have no job.

I completed four years of university, four years of medical school, and three years of pediatric residency.

I am a full-time pediatrician specializing in AD/HD. I am also a pediatric hospitalist.

I wrote two books, one on general pediatric medicine and the other on immunization.

:kermit:

Green with envy?

Anyway, I have to say that I had tons of fun in college. It was not too challenging, and the social aspect was fabulous. Those were some of the best years of my life.

Medical school . . . not so much. It was quite brutal, actually.

I've got a couple of friends going for medicine, I keep trying to tell them how much of a overly competitive field it is but they won't listen to reason.

I don't think the gaming industry is any less competitive.

I do, nevertheless, thoroughly enjoy my job. I have no regret going into medicine. It's highly rewarding.

I have finished my Master degree in Applied informatics last month and now I am a software engineer at a Dutch software company - they have a subsidiary here in Slovakia. We are quite a small team, my colleagues are friendly but the work is harder than I thought. I have to study existing code a lot to build on it and I am getting things done much slower than I imagined due to this fact. It will take some time until I get into it, I guess :snooze:

Test Chamber 74:

Released here!

All maps for Portal (1/2) worth playing are mirrored here.

I was on-call in the hospital until midnight, but went home and mapped until 4 am. :P

State Prison Correctional Officer.
I tell hard-asses what to do all day.

Been with the state since 1999 (quit for a year, but came back)
Before that I was in college for Computer Science, with the eventual plan to either work on video games, or for a general software company... Life + Bullshit leaded me to quitting and trying my hand in the real world... Once you make a few pay checks and get a few responsibilities... then you're <stuck>

Also; Instead of bitching about college, be happy that you have parents that actually can MAKE you go, in that you GET to go. Instead of digging ditches all day. Or, worse, someone that can't even get a ditch-digging job.
