That may be true, but if you want to get good at something, you need lots of exposure. To live a blue collar life and have enough free time to get good at programming, was not achievable for me. Also,blue collar jobs pay shit and they aren’t fun. Now I’m a programmer, still not getting payed well, and I’m much more stressed, but at least I’m having fun (for now).
Which is why I haven’t and won’t work in IT, Tech, Game development etc.
Got several friends who are indie/AA game devs and they all say that they’ve lost a lot of their interest in gaming as a hobby.
Literally me since the first time I used a computer. Unfortunately (almost) anything you do for a living becomes a chore even on the best days.
