how do you make ends meet?

Oh, good. Someone else made the decision to quote that post, the content of which is entirely a picture, and put hide tags around the picture. I feel justified in my decision to do the same now. How wonderful that is.

Man, it is possible on the internet for a thing to be a picture and a hyperlink at the same time. That is cool as shit.

Because you yourself, are a programmer.(March 24, 2014 at 8:10 pm)futilethewinds Wrote: Okay, I get why you think that is a significantly good thing. And yeah, being a programmer pays a fuckload. It is one of the reasons why a person should "become a programmer, motherfucker!" It is something I once thought might ultimately be my career, but at the time that I was interested and learning how to be a programmer I hit a roadblock, and it was just really damn frustrating. (LOL, I think I was 8 years old.) After that whenever I happened to consider the possibility, I decided it was just not a thing I wanted to do. Because if I become a programmer, I'm pretty sure I will never go outside again and I'm pretty sure I will interact with humans even less, which sounds GREAT to me, except that I know it is not actually good for my overall well-being. So damn. However, I maintain an interest in the possibility of being a part of the gaming industry. How I envision this happening is that I would become a tester, and I would be totally content with that, and then it is possible that at some point someone would recognize that I also possess creative writing skills and am just REALLY DAMN GOOD at creative writing, and hire me as a video game writer. And if that thing happened, it would absolutely just MAKE MY LIFE. That is how much I would love to be a video game writer. If the company I was hired to be a video game writer for was Bioware, @*#$!!! I would be like 1000 times happier still.  RE: how do you make ends meet?

A cover letter can be the difference, for sure. I'll copy one that I sent out. The point is that if there are 100 people applying for an entry level job, only 25 of them are going to have a properly formatted resume. Out of those 25, only 10 are going to include a cover letter. 7 of those 10 are going to be carbon copied from a website, the last 3 will be targeted to the actual job. Be one of those 3.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
