I had a pulse and got into this industry in the 90s through the back door. It’s been a long run and I’ve seen busts come and go. It’s worked out really well for me, even while I’ve watched a surprising number of highly-credentialed new hires flop out over the years. I continue to appreciate people with oddball resumes. | ||

Similar here, no formal higher education starting in the early-mid 90's, just a lot of reading/learning and experimenting along the way... Even while working, I've spent 15-20 hours a week most of my career on learning activities. Somewhat hardware oriented and worked a few tech support/helpdesk and internal IT jobs in the early-mid 90's when I got more into programming as a side-step from design/art. | ||
