~ Kinda interested to know the age of Polycounters whether you are:

• currently in the industry
• a student
• trying to get IN the industry
• trying to get OUT of the industry
• saw the team fortress package and decided that you want to make hats for a living now
• accidentally ended up here after researching polygamy communities etc


I just wonder these things... And I couldn't find a thread on it ^ ^

(I'm 24 btw, I first got hired at 23)

34, Industry for 5+ years.

Considering doing anything other than what I do now. Not because I want out of the industry but because the current job I've got could be considered the lowest form of game art on the ladder, and its the only thing available in my area atm....But needs must when bills need paying.

25, been working in the industry since I was 20 and just as Stinger88 I've been working on the lowest form of games on the ladder due to a shitty represented industry in this country.
Need to get into AAA asap.
