So, I'm going through a weird time in my life. I just lost my job and I've lost faith in the industry I work in. I could get a job in another company without a problem. I've made great contacts and with the incestuous nature of employment in the gaming industry, you're never totally out of work. However, I'm not happy. There's no stability when every day I have to look at who's hiring just in case... not because I want a better position, but because I never know if my position is going to be necessary... hell, in the next minute.
I've gotten to thinking, though... is it the job? Because you're never totally "safe", you know? Things could change for anyone in an instant. Maybe it's my personal life. Maybe I never found stability at home so I'm never content with work.
All in all, I'm most likely going to be making drastic changes and, for a long while, everything is going to be kind of different every day. I might be going back to school, I might just jump into a new line of work... I don't know...
So what is it that keeps you going? What is it that makes people stop, take a breath and not just say, but KNOW, that it's worth it?
