Well, as every programmer has that dream to work with a gaming company, I eventually hope to work for Jagex or start my own.
And, eh. If you're invested enough in your project, you get through the boring parts of Minecraft.
I even gave up mapping because I'd always want to write a story to go along with it. But, I never posted any of my little projects. But, yes, a rehash of the typical 8 leaders, evil team X going after Legendary Y and you're meant to stop them somehow is always the way it goes.
I think my first job will be from my internship. I'll be designing and developing software meant for agricultural use. It sounds boring as hell, but it gets me experience which is what I need to move up in the world, y'know?
