HEY LOJO. You should read "Rich Dad, Poor Dad".

http://www.amazon.com/Rich-Dad-Poor-Money-That-Middle/dp/044656740X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1290113046&sr=8-1

It's not a very long book, and it's a pretty good read. It will get you thinking the right way about making money, and owning the ladder, instead of climbing someone else s ladder.

I grew up with not the best career guidance from my parents, and I worked as an 'underwater ceramics technician' (dishwasher) for years before I got into game development. I too had a career counselor who was utterly fucken useless... So I can relate.

I know you don't wanna hear it, but ALBERTA BLOWS GERIATRIC NUTSAC for professional jobs. But it's pretty!

Just sayin'.

Hahahaha :) But it is pretty, isn't it?

Thanks for the suggestion! Will definitely check it out. Heard of it, but never read it myself.

And I hear what your saying. Over the last few years I abandoned the traditional ladder after getting fed up with failure after failure and redirected my focus into learning how I could transform my true passions into a self driven career. But a few months ago I kind of.... well, gave up, I suppose, after seeing a lack of progress, and I've resorted back to the traditional sphere. Maybe I gave up too soon.

Thanks for the input, yo :)
