    Re: Not Quitting

    He's dating the bad boy of the school. He'll "study" with him under the bleachers and his parents will never find out because if they did then they would take away his new thunderbird that looks so snazzy. If he didn't do this then he'd going mentally insane and possibly kill his parents and then he'll never see his bad boy again cause he'd be in jail and you can't be rebellious in jail you just get raped and shanked.

    my advice as a mafia enthuiast: SWEET, DOOOOOOO IT!

    my advice as a person: Dude your parents have a point, editing mafia isn't bad but you have to balance it out with trying to find something like a job, or a degree, or whatever is going to allow you to do well in the long run. Maybe patches come out every few weeks instead of every few days because that is how much time you have, so what? Just do what you have to do and find a balance between real life and working on mafia.

    also Claw is so right, haha

    Also how did you manage $15k in middle school? Here, the minimum working age is 16. In Canada it's 15. Nobody is in middle school at 15.
    You're high. Minimum working age for most jobs is 14. Shitty jobs can be had under that age.

    Hey Revenant. I feel your pain, the computer industry is a shitty one to try and break into without greasing the wheels with connections or a degree.

    Don't forget however, that your work on the Mafia map may be seen by employers within the game industry as experience. I know in particular that Riot Games (which is located in California) would look at such work favorably. It might be worth trying to secure a QA Analyst position with them, or even a community-based one. You're currently managing a small community here, as well as producing a product. Don't forget that this counts as job experience, even if most employers won't have enough brain cells to appreciate that.

    Uh, logical voice interruption.

    So what if Riot Games is in LA? If you can get a job with them isn't there the option of renting an apartment nearby? Just thinking you know, pretty sure your parents would be more than happy to support this move for independance on your part, and even help pay for it until you get settled down.

    Thoughts, ideas, you know. Maybe you're not really looking to move so far, heh. You also mentioned something about college... So, yeah, future thoughts? :P

    I'l shut up now.

    I've been doing a 3 hour a week paper route for 4 years, which I have earned 8K from. I've earned 2K from national science fair. 'Nother 2K from socker refereeing. As long as I go to univercity, I get a 20% increase for all money I've saved. I maybe spend $200 a year. Add it all together, I get alot of money.

    Re: Not Quitting

    Just a random idea, if you want to get a job as a programmer why not trying to get something at blizzard or at least try to get a refrence from them? I mean it's like hey guys look I've only made one of the most sucessful maps on your custom games list, the least you could do is give me a refrence. They promote the crap out of day 9, I'm sure they would be able to show you some love too.

    Tbh, I only spend around 200-300$ a year and I'm in college, and play Magic the Gathering. You just have to know how to make your money last...

    o.0

    Do you live off-campus? Do you pay your own tuition? Do you have a car? Do you have a cell-phone? Do you eat?

    Because any of those things would make it impossible to spend that little. In fact, I feel like paying for internet alone would be more than that (30 bucks a month is pretty normal for cable internet, and that's $360 a year right there).

    Okay so if you save all your earnings and your parents pay all your expenses, then yes it's possible to have saved up $15k in middle school (just as it's possible to save up $15k if your parents just give you $15k and you put it in the bank). Kudos to you for keeping the paper route for so long and saving the money wisely But it's completely different from a situation where someone has to pay for his/her own cost of living. Just out of curiosity: would you be able to blow away the $15K now if you wanted to, or would your parents not allow that?

    Also. If you're expecting a 20% bonus from your parents for going to university...it's not accurate to pre-count that and say you have $15k now in middle school. :P If you could do that, then you could also say that you have $100K now in middle school, because you plan to invest the $15K at 5% interest for 40 years, after which you will have $100K.

    I'm a lawyer, and although I make good money, I don't even have $15K in net worth (assets minus liabilities), because I have ~$100K in law school loans that I am in the process of paying off. Also, life is pretty freaking expensive. It's not the same when your parents are paying for everything. ;D

    I don't count any college costs or meal plan costs... most of it is covered by scholarships and the rest I'm not personally paying for. I don't have a car, my cellphone is pre-paid(5$ a month for basic texting; that's it).
    But then again, someone in middle school doesn't have to worry about any of that either, so I'd say his claim is pretty believable.
