So what's everyone doing nowadays 2017

Living in LA, was a manual (not CNC) machinist for an aerospace company for a while, got hit with layoffs and am currently trying to get a job with the city. Otherwise, I collect old shit. Cars, firearms, engines, whatever. Hop on CE every once in a while, still (relatively) fun.

I push shopping carts after graduating university, with the aspiration to become a game designer.

Yes, that is as fucked up as it sounds.

Innit though? I was just a janitor but my friend in a nearby city is opening his own chipotle-style restaurant and the minimum wage there is higher than my last job after several raises. Someone I knew got a job doing malware reversing, I should've kept a blog.

After my Halo CE days I became a YouTuber (350k subs) and did that for 5 years.
Now I've been working in UK TV and Film as an editor and motion graphics animator for 2 years.
Also had a book published and did some architectural consultancy work for the UN.

Kind of setting my sights back towards 3D modelling and the games industry though.

Just out of curiosity what pulled you away from YouTube in the end?

I'll wait here another 8 years for your next response its ite

Web designer these days. Looking after a few travel brands and airport sites across the UK/abroad. Got a few peeps like rams/ducky on Facebook. Even got Blind on snapchat. lost contact with the rest.

That's pretty much how it feels, yeah. So many "I wish I would have done this" sort of situations, and "better" just means switching to another low-paying job anyways. I'm heading in a better direction, but it's tough going for a lot of reasons even if I have ideas I can get behind. When the motivation is there, the energy isn't; when the energy is there, the motivation isn't.

Edit: Part of my job is being the daytime janitor of the supermarket I'm at, so I exactly know how that feels.

Scientist for scumbag pharmaceuticals, inc.

EDIT: wow my account is 10 years old lmao

I'm working as a freelance video editor in VA, just outside DC. And I got married in May!

I still feel satisfied that I helped turn off the lights and lock the door on the CE modding scene with TSC:E a few years back.

Dam man. I thought you where going to join the clergy? what happened?

Edit:

Also i sell booze for a living and make enough to get by pretty comfortably. I play Starcraft 2 for fun these days and i'm a masters meching terran. I even did a few videos about a crazy style that literally nobody else in the world got to work. Was a LOT of work so i guess i have a little insight into Firedragon's youtube stuff.

I also have 2 dogs, a house a wife and a child who's 10 months old and i've been doing renovations on my house drawing on the skills i got from completing a trade
