Ok well I don’t have the time to post it all again but the game development and movie industry requires you to work extremely long hours. Upwards of 90 hour weeks – and you will certainly not get a penny of overtime.

Working on weekends during “crunch time” (google it if you don’t know what it means) is expected.

Generally people who work in the gaming industry have no families because they cannot dedicate the time necessary for one. And for those few that do have families all you need to do is google “wives of game developers” (most notably check out ea_spouse from live journal). IGN made a post that made it seem like all of this abuse was OK but good luck finding anyone coming home from work at 4am and is expected to come back to work at 10am thinking that this is OK.

Of course remember that all parnasa comes from Hashem, you don’t need to go to college to get rich and it won’t automatically make you poor if you don’t go. You can be the dumbest person in the world but if Hashem wants you to be rich you will be rich one way or another. And you could have a harvard degree but if hashem doesn’t want you to have money you’re going to be poor no matter what.
