Gloria’s Answer

Hi ki'shawn,

I work in a field where video games can and do play an important role - Training and Development. While there are no explosions, video games can be an important training tool, especially for jobs where trying to emulate real life is actually dangerous. For example, you would not train someone how to work safely around a live electric line with a live electric line. In a video game, you can show what happens if you do something wrong and avoid any injury that may occur in real life.

Simeon’s Answer

You could try your hand at video game development. As a video game developer, it will help to develop your own portfolio of games you've made. I'd recommend checking out game jams like the one hosted by Game Maker's Toolkit on itch.io. He has a very successful Youtube channel and has had record-breaking numbers of participants in his game jams these past years. Game jams are multi-day events where entrants compete to make games that match the theme of the jam. You don't need any prior experience to participate and you'll find people, especially on Discord, who would be excited to point you in the direction of free resources. It helps to have a focused event like this to practice using a skill. It makes it easier to practice the skill and wrap your head around which parts of the coding process are giving you issues.
