The video game development industry is really tough to get into. It's very competitive, and comparitively quite low paying. If it's your absolute passion, go for it, but as another option consider other aspects of IT. I work as a performance engineer after finishing a BSc in Computer Science. I get to do programming and have exposure to all kinds of technologies and I'm slowly building up some indie game content in my spare time. I probably wouldn't even find a job as a game developer in New Zealand and if I did I'd be getting roughly 50% of the pay I'm on now.

Depends on your priorities. I'm 28 now and have an 8 week old baby daughter and a wife to support so that's where my motivation is now. Just saying, the game industry is TOUGH so don't be discouraged if you have trouble getting into it - and go in to it understanding the risks.
But I'm off creep... and so I slow down, what are hellions doing here? I don't belong here...

Don't eat the food ad McD's everyday, might become phat :O. Maybe give it to someone that asks for food on the street or something, that'll help somebody. Be sure to look at the nutrient facts of everything, sometimes a food might be bad for you even if it doesn't taste that way. I think the dressing of the salad counter balances the healthiness of the salad itself.

Calories in, calories out.. It might not be healthy, but it wont make you fat if you eat sensibly.

I suppose the average person wont think to look farther than some store relatively close to his house. There are so much jobs out there that you may not even realize exist. In Calgary online you can find some recruitment agencies that will drive you up North for example for work in the oil industry. With no experience being an adult you will have $25/h starting wage. NO EXPERIENCE no anything, all it requires is for you to be dedicated and show up to a few meeting they require you initially to know you mean business.

The reason the wage is so high is because of the conditions of that "no experience" job and its relation to regular life in general. I know many people that have been offered jobs or taken jobs in Alberta because of the pay and benefits, but it's precisely because of the surrounding conditions; personally, not something I'd be interested in.

Those businesses and jobs have to pay way above the average for that very reason. My dad was offered $120,000/year + fully paid living expenses to go work in Whitehorse (he's an accountant/controller). Something that, depending on the industry/company, generally pays anywhere from $60-100k in Ontario depending on scope and personal experience.


Hey Whitehorse is pretty great He's missing out.

For reference, wages are extremely high here. I make $25/h working commissioned electronics retail.

Hey, you gotta do what you gotta do.

McDonalds isnt that bad for a job.. The conditions are humane and they do give raises.. and free food is always good. If you're responsible you won't eat terrible every shift, but it would be nice to have some choice of course. I'm sure 7.00 means anything in the store. That isn't a bad idea for mcdonalds.. basically giving an hour of pay for a lunch break at minimum wage instead of paying you 8.00 + for an hour But some places just offer discounts, or like a restaurant i worked at before, no discount at all

I know a lot of people in your situation.. around your age and out of college with no job atm

Sounds like you're really excited to work at McD's. I've worked at one for 2 years, and it had its up and downs. I had great nighttime managers and really sucky daytime ones.
McDonald's isn't the worst place to work, but far from the best. The more I got to know about my manager friends, the more I realized how priveledged I am, some of them make only slightly more than the typical crew member.
Have fun while you're there, your enjoyment is really dependent on the other employees there

Is it true that macdonald has a food policy that if you dont get your food inless than 10-15min you get the meal for free?

HERE in sweden it takes them every fucking 15-25min( i go to the cashier 5-10-15-20 each 5min) to get any of my meal done and they dont call my name or anyshit they just stand in the cashier i go there and ask them HEY ur lucky we got your meal

Cold as fuck but at this point im too hungry to give a fuck to wait to get myself a warm one

ANY TIP FOR A GUY THAT IS TRYING TO GET INTO FAST FOOD INDUSTRY to work there?
would appreciate anything at this point.

Been trying to work at macdonalds I got no work experience been unemployed for 2years I thought i didn't need experience to join macdonalds " ive become so low thinking its because im an immigrant i wont get hired" seeing how my friends gets a job due to being swedish and quit their job 1-2weeks after

Please enjoy your job
