      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.

          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.

      Prior to Covid, I worked part time. During college, I worked on personal projects. It’s hard to have industry experience if you haven’t yet entered the industry.
