Since completing my post-secondary education I have tried to make it an ongoing goal to continue to invest in myself. Whether through books, online courses, conferences or other means, the aim is to keep learning, growing and developing.
Those areas of growth are meant to be centered around my career, a side hustle, new hobby or a passion project.
Has this been as consistent or pursued as actively as I’d like it to be?
No, definitely not.
Life is busy, stressful and sometimes I unfortunately put this goal of ongoing learning on the backburner. The worst part is that it’s never been easier to continue to invest in your own mind, money and body given the accessibility of digital products and services. My goal is to get on track again with online courses.
One of the industry leaders in the delivery of great online learning content is Udemy.
Udemy is a marketplace providing over 55,000 digital courses taught by industry experts to users around the world. These courses cover almost every topic imaginable for both personal and professional development.
I wanted to share some of the courses I found when I was searching out options for myself. From starting your own business to improving your skill set or learning something new, you can almost guarantee that Udemy has a course that fits your needs.

Why is the pay for game developers so low?
ReplyDeleteGame developers aren't in it for the money. We love creating games. Many people describe their job as a game developer as a "dream come true." That is true.

The hardest part is getting through those early years of game developer jobs. You're still young and enthusiastic, however.
