Are GameDev Studies Expensive or Cheap?
Keep reading until the end for the “How I didn’t think about this before? “WOW effect!😮”First, let’s understand what expensive and cheap mean
.
If you buy a can of Coke for 1$ and you drink it, you paid a total of 1$.Â
If you buy a vintage car for $14,000 and sell it for $17,000, suddenly you made a profit of 3,000$!
The car is of course more expensive than a can of Coke, but it turns out that you made money on it instead of losing. How does it turn out that way?
The answer: Buying and selling a vintage car is an INVESTMENT, while a can of Coke is a waste of money (which you may or may not enjoy, but the money will not return to you).
Still think the car is expensive? Definitely. But if you now had $14,000 and there was a car like that for this price, I believe you would consider investing in it.
Why doesn’t everyone with money do it? Because it requires knowledge and proficiency. A person with the right knowledge can turn one dollar into a million dollars. On the other hand, a person without knowledge, can turn a million dollars into 0 dollars (*cough* anyone who wins the Lottery)).
Therefore to be honest – knowledge is the thing that is most worth investing in, and the earlier you start – the more time you have to make good use of it!
