@AlexDeLarge I used to care what people think. And I still do, to a degree, if they are important to me. But I am not making a horrible choice like going into porn or becoming a drug addict, so I am happy with my choice and everyone will have to support me or stfu.

@runfrodorun my experience is not that bad, really. Just parents and friends pushing me in a direction they think is best. I quit dance classes at 16 so they've had 3 years to realize I've chosen my path.

Alot of the lack of support can be chalked up to the lack of understanding in regards to the profession

@ctmalloy yes, that is part of it. Most people don't comprehend what we actually do.

@MissDirection got a resume? My work place is recruiting and if they hire you I get $500.

@runfrodorun but now I kind of want there to be a samurai-viking option for avatars.

I ranted about this somewhat in the past, but my biggest hurdle has been my family and friends. Please don't take this as ego or conceit, because I don't feel this way about myself. But they all say because of my exotic appearance (Being Japanese and Norwegian) that I should be a model, dancer, actress, or some other vapid thing.
I love tech. My dad is an engineer, so I've been surrounded by tech since I was very young. So now that I am out of high school, I want to turn my coding hobby into a career. My family and friends are not necessarily discouraging me much anymore, but they still aren't supportive. Doesn't matter though, this is the path I've chosen.
