I've been thinking about branching out recently. Reviewing movies and TV shows for example in addition to video games. I'm not sure if that'd be a good idea or not.
Yeah the college system over there is a bit backwards. I was lucky enough to be able to pay for my tuition upfront, but it's nice that there's an option over here for people to get their education on loan and pay back the money once they have their fancy job.
Meh. I wouldn't know where to go looking for work anyway. The employments of my known fields requires you have a college degree. Guess who didn't have a college fund growing up.
As much as I dislike my job, I definitely wouldn't be able to live without it.
Maybe. But I just know sooner or later dad's going to start prodding harder about getting a job somewhere out here. Which I find funny because even if I started work tomorrow I still wouldn't be making enough to support myself any time soon.
Better than nothing though, I suppose.
I know what you mean. For me it takes all week just to play the game, write the review and keep all my social network pages up just to promote myself so I can get reasonable traffic to my blog and even through all of that I'm still only making chump change.
I really don't have the time. I'm thinking about replaying FFXII when my new PS2 controller arrives in the mail though, so maybe something will accidentally be inspired by that.
Have you thought about doing some work for the front site? I know they can always use some more writers. I feel bad not being able to contribute more than I have, but I haven't had the time to just stop what I'm doing and play the FF games. The next one I'll have to play is VII and I'm debating whether to share that review on the front site or not, since it's going on my blog either way.
Everything has its pros and cons. I've written essays for my own reasons also - to submit to journals and whatnot - so I'm glad I'm familiar with writing them. Forced topics are the worst though.
