What's your job and dream?

I don't believe in "mentoring" or "tutoring" in learning any developement professions. There is no person who knows everything about such a vague topic as "development". Any masters will have limitations so either (s)he will lie that (s)he knows everything and teaches you tons of bad practices or will be honest and not teach you stuff so won't function as a mentor/tutor.

Learn as much stuff from as many people as you can, and be critical about everything they say.

Back on topic:

Current job:

Test engineer at a brake equipment developing multinational company so it's a mechanical engineering job. However, I still have some programming tasks, like programming automated endurance test benches, software tools (for example a graphical test sequence editor, scripts for automated test result evaluations, etc), PLC programs. Programming is about 5% of my job.

Dream job:

I don't know yet. I like my current job, since the job atmosphere is awesome, and the job itself is quite diverse, and the responsibility is quite low. However, it can be also tedious and boring, and I would like to do more programming (and a more "competitive" salary).

Very dreamy dreams are:

Sci-fi writer/sci-fi filmmaker, working on (either as programmer, or story writer, or campaign/level/gameplay designer) the very bestest evar RTS game (with focus on single player campaign with a polite sci-fi literature level storyline, and a very long and exciting camplaign with a strong survival aspect). I don't take any steps to reach those dreams and I know that in reality, those "jobs" would be very demanding and probably not so dreamy.

Current: Senior graphics programmer at Square Enix, working on Final Fantasy XV as part of their Luminous Studio R&D team.

I am also an actor on Japanese TV and movies, and I do motion capture at Square Enix as well, including for the main characters (for example, Noctis).

Dream: My current job is my dream job. ...

Boo for breaking combo :)

And for my own, I currently "work" in a company as jack of all trades including but not limited to basic accounting, programming (mostly PLC), graphic design and web design.

My dream is making a successful browser game while I still have perfect time window. And then having several startups (what fascinates me most nowadays is microfabrication)

I suggest you start by applying to rockstar or volition then :) that would be the fastest route to this dream...


that would be the fastest route to this dream

Except the getting rich part. Because pretty much nobody gets rich working the 9-5 at a game studio.

Nothing will automatically make you happy if there are other factors in your life which make you miserable. This isn't unique to wealth.

A job that would provide me a non-social/welfare pension would be a great point to start for me..
