After graduation, I took a job with Manufacturers Hanover Trust in software development. I don't think I was there more than a month.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
After graduating in 1973 I went into the programming field.
Before I became a game designer, I was a software engineer.
I took three years off. I differentiated myself from the industry. Found my identity - sort of... I haven't graduated yet. I'm not legitimately educated yet, but maybe one day.
Out of grad school, I worked as a tech writer for a while before going into computer coding for a living.
A few years after that first visit, I applied for a job in Yosemite.
I was an independent developer and started Junction Point in January of 2005.
I could imagine, some number of years from now, starting my own company. But not yet. Not for a while.
I was hired as a computer programmer for a national laboratory at age 15.
I got the same industry experience in five years that someone else might have had in 15.
Then I started graduate school at UCLA. I got a part time research assistant job as a programmer on a project involving the use of one computer to measure the performance of another computer.
