$130,000 in student loan debt. Cosigned by my family members who can't afford to pay either. I can't vent to them about it either.

I have a shit job, basically minimum wage, that I commute 45 minutes to.

I have a Bachelor's Degree in Game Programming. Guess how many of those jobs are available?

I lack the will to live, but don't have the strength to kill myself.

Why not just make games on your own and put them on the Google Play store? Build a portfolio

Because of the above, I don't have time. Any free time I get is 2 hours or so.

I might going forward. I finally am getting days off at work. Before I would get day off and I wouldn't know until the morning of.
