What's more difficult than a job that's absolutely soul draining and long hours for next to no pay?

It's difficult to become a software engineer, but the job is relatively easy. It's not hard to become QA, or a fruit picker, or meat packer, but those jobs are fucking hard.

An equally soul draining job that requires you to service customers. And equally draining job that puts in physical danger. And equally draining job that takes out on long distance travel, like crewing a vessel.

I really doubt that a company is going to struggle to find people to load up a build of the game and try to clip through walls all day.

I think it's time to take a step back and realize that even living in a first world country and working a tech job is, honestly, not a bad deal.
