I remember my first ever job application and interview being with a local flight sim mod company. I was knee deep in 3d modelling and texture art at the time, so I thought I had a great chance.

It turned out that they needed someone to paint light masks over towns and cities for their night shader. I was so hyped for it and it sounded like something I could almost do with my eyes closed.

I was rejected. Kinda thankfully, because a week later got a much higher paid job as a software developer and the rest is, as they say, his story.
