For me, it starts like the Atlantic coast of the US. The water is warm and fun to play in so I want to go into deeper water. So I go farther and farther into the water until I reach the unseen cliff where it drops from shallow, warm water to MILES deep of dark, dangerous ocean.
I know that at this point in my journey, I'm playing in the shallows.
I also know that the depths of despair are not far away where only those who live and breathe 900 page tomes dwell.
I tend to fall into the pit of overwhelm.

I have found as one nearing the end of their career that my number one key to longevity in the game industry has been insatiable curiosity.
Works in every part of IT, I think :-)
