[game_edu] The Dorklyst: 7 Reasons You Don't Want To Work in the Video Game Industry

[Ian Schreiber]

I've been sharing this with students for years, but it's nice to have an article to point to :-)

They left out an eighth reason: supply/demand forces push down salaries, so your pay will be significantly less than if you did comparable work outside the industry.

The only one not really in my experience is #3. (Also, #1 is a bit of a misstatement: you will get "laid off" more than "fired" since firing implies termination with cause.)

Something to share with students?

I have lived #4 (go QA!) so many times it's not even funny.
