I find it funny how the best kind of job / experience/ lessons comes from being able to accept you gotta work for someone for free at least 3 to 6 months. Took me 4 years to realize this.

You want to be a gamedev? Work for free first
You want to be a singer? Work for free first
You want to be a surfing teacher? Work for free first
You want to be a webcomic artist? Work for free first

Dont get me wrong though i still dislike unpaid internship and corporste greed
