So what do you do?

[Shotaro Kaneda]

Hi dojo peeps

I've started spending a bit of time here recently after a little break, and it's nice to see some of the people I used to speak to on here still here or returning, so I was wondering what every is up to now as I started out on Ryo's Place, so have spoken to people throughout the ages of the forums and obviously what people were doing all those years ago they won't be now

So, who's working, at college, travelling, etc?

[KiBa]

Work/grad school.

[Axm]

Graduated college in 2006, started as an assistant to a media company, a couple years later I became an executive and was responsible for magazine placement for Blockbuster Video, FYE, Tractor Supply, Circuit City, AutoZone, Pepboys, Fred's, Advance Auto, and some more chain stores nationwide. I left that company to work for my family firm because print media was dying, as well as some of the chain stores we serviced back in 2010. That company closed this past October. Now I'm an insurance broker in New York. We just moved into a bigger office to expand, looking to hire people, but you dingbats voted for Obama so you shot yourselves in the foot.

I'm a support worker for people with autism. Been working with learning disabilities for the past four years (since graduating from uni basically), can be very hard work at times but ultimately very rewarding

This is awesome. I only have a mild form of Aspergers but before my dad passed he worked with adults who had sever mental disabilities. It's really great when people take time with them.

[redline]

i studied art but just work part time for minimum wage

[Axm]

Finished my degree awhile ago. I work for a telecom company now in business sales for the past 2 years. I make good money, which is important because when I move back to Japan a year from now ill need plenty to buy/recondition a house, get a hybrid car and have some kids.


Actually never talked about this one before because of NDA and I didnt care to discuss it, but I actually used to work for Sony Computer Entertainment here in San Diego for about a year in the QA dept. Went in as a temp, writing up bugs and braking games. I got promoted to full permanent within my first few projects. I worked on quite a few small and big titles out there and you can actually find my name in the credits of some games. I also worked with the Move controller in some of the launch games before it came out.
I found the work at first to be very nice. I liked Sony as a company alot and they have great offices. I got along with alot of the people there which is why I got promoted relatively quickly. But once I was in with more of the higher ups their were people that really rubbed me the wrong way, who were on power trips and one person in particular that had it in for me big time because of a misunderstanding. I felt like my job was being threatened because of it, so I found a new higher paying job somewhere else, (where I am currently) and was done with it asap. The work was getting tedious and destroying my love for games anyways. But ill always value that time cause I can say I worked in the industry and for Sony at that. Which looks great on my resume.
