When choosing what career you want do you yourself feel like I do not what to do with my life. How are you able to know or even study for something when really if you think about it like how and why.

Throughout my life, I ask myself what do I want and who do I wanna become in this world. #career-choice

Do you recommend taking a gap year?

Although I do want to go to college and get a degree, I have seen many articles where people have taken a gap year to fix their health or to raise enough money for college and I was wondering if I should plan to do the same.

Where can I work as an artist who is still in college but no portfolio yet?

Is it possible to still offer some service to a company without my portfolio and at least get some experience working in or around a game dev. studio? I am stuck between needing to pay the bills and finding a fulfilling career.
