Need to get this off my chest
Can I vent for a moment? Be 100% real?
I felt like giving up.
I've been applying for jobs in the gaming industry for roughly two years now, and radio silence. Sometimes I would get a response, and other times not. I built a portfolio (now being reworked), a CV, and revamped my LinkedIn, and still nothing.
I feel like I'm doing something wrong, but in reality, I'm probably not.
I felt like going back to school was the only solution, but school costs a lot of money, and time I can't afford. Since I have no educational background for the industry (other then being self-taught), I know getting in is harder.
It took about two years to get into the healthcare field, but healthcare isn't what I want. I want to share my stories with the world. I want to watch them come to life. I want to see people enjoying them.
I start a new job at another hospital this week. It's not a job I want. I know what I want. It just feels so far away. Now, note: I said felt earlier. I am not the type to give in so lightly. I'll keep going, keep applying, and keep working until I get to where I want to be.
I'm just tired, and needed to get these feels out.
