Yeah, I wish now I would have headed out there ten years ago to go to school but all I can do now is try and make up for that mistake. It sucks that I have to move so far away from family but unfortunately the game industry isn't big in Winnipeg, Saskatchewan and Calgary. They have Bioware in Edmonton but they don't make the type of games that I'm into.

The one thing I really like about Think Tank is in your last semester they'll hire a personal mentor who works at the studio you want to work at to help you polish your reel so that your chances of getting hired are better.
