    Making your own indie games when you already have the skills and don’t have college debt is a thing that already generally doesn’t work out.

      You are right, they should just give up and make coffee or hamburgers or something… What do they have to lose? If anything they hone their skills and get practice for when they find a job… and can show a portfolio of some projects worked on.Knowhatimsayin?

        The problem in America is that more and more skilled workers are having to settle for making hamburgers because of shit like this. Good luck getting any “portfolio” shit done when you’re working 2 unskilled labor jobs and still not making your monthly bills.

        This also doesn’t address the fact that employers give zero fucks about that stuff. Portfolios. Gimme a fucking break. It doesn’t matter if you singlehandedly made an entire Linux distro, no one’s going to care.

          Shit like what? Are all the employers the same in your area? Are you working two dead end jobs right now?
