Unemployment is Imminent
So I just found out today that my internship at THQ is coming to an end in 2 weeks and the company will not be hiring me. Needless to say, I am really disappointed. I regret that I wasn't given many opportunities to work on game design, having spent most of my time on the mountain of production tasks that needed to be done. But I really have no one to blame except myself. I believe I did not live up to my potential as a game designer for the UFC franchise. Looking back, I should've tried harder to create opportunities for myself and show my superiors what I'm capable of. Being a mixed martial arts fan, I thought that if there was one game I'd be a good fit for, it was UFC. C'est la vie. Let that be a lesson to you: if you're not given opportunities to excel, create your own opportunities. As for me, I will need to reevaluate my future in this industry and figure out what my next step will be.
