I'm a little confused here, I'm not EU/Swedish citizen wouldn't any of my studies require me to pay? I care about money very little which is part of why I've been feeling so soul sucked at my current job. I've only been here for money for a bit now and I hate it. In a lot of ways I'd rather just be poor. I was happier when I was working for like 1/5 what I make now but felt excited about what I did

I love games and game making. I've been skirting around the industry for over 15 years at this point and haven't been able to crack in yet. Future Games, or any of the schools I've applied to, is an opportunity to be on a visa for nearly the entire trump term and hopefully network enough to land a job after school. So I'm not just paying for education I'm paying for my own safety

The crunch is for real but also the job culture in the US is batshit. My first job out of college I ended up pulling 16 hour days 7 days/week. Everywhere here it is expected you're going to do more work than you're paid for or you risk getting fired. Crunch time in Sweden sounds like normal time in the US tbh
