>Happy?
Yeah. It's fun work. I get to build stuff. I'm learning skills related to other trades. Plenty of room for raises and improvements. Hoping to one day own my own commercial/industrial service company or maybe go back to school later in life and become an Electrical Engineer, or Audio Engineer.

It's easy work which I'm happy for. I'm not really a fan of any scripting language and certainly didn't expect my first job to be working in a scripting language; I'll leave the company after about 3 years or 2 projects.
I'm planning on spending the following year reading up on game engines, making my own, then getting a job as a game engine programmer

It's okay. I like that my work stays at work and I have weekends and holidays off. Pretty dead end career, though because I'm already close to my wage ceiling for this type of work. Might go back to school in the near future.

no. uni is bullshit, time waste with a lot of classes that are unneeded, bad teachers, bad assistants, bad labs, bad organization.

>>45682774
At that young of an age?
You need to know the right people.

>>45682774
we had a couple very basic courses in college and I used that as an in for a related internship and got hired

just be warned, you'll have close to no personal life, but you'll have more rental car & hotel points and air miles than you can count.

>>45682778
Once you find work, everyplace you ever applied to will call you with offers. Especially if you have to move and have finally settled and gotten used to the area.

Well, it's not so much work as it is an apprenticeship I'm looking for right now so I can gain some sort of official qualification and not remain unskilled for the rest of my life.

>I could probably earn more if I went somewhere else but right now I get paid to basically watch Netflix and browse the internet
This is a question that's been bugging me for some time now.
What's better, a job with really high pay, you have to work your ass off pretty much everyday for 10 hours, or, on the other hand, a job with a more than acceptable pay, in which you do pretty much nothing at all since everything just werks.

>>45682879
As much as I hate them, find a way to join a union. From what I hear, you won't get actual work for a while but once it starts to flow in and you get picked, it won't stop.
