I don't know if there's been a thread like this in the past, but I would like to know how everyone used the skills they learned from developing and/or running a SA-MP Server. Obviously, a lot of people here started at a very young age. I started my first SA-MP server when I was in elementary, but never truly peaked until my last attempt in my college years.
My biggest takeaway from running a SA-MP server? Patience is a major key. Dealing with complaints from high-pitched kids (eg. "HE METAGAMED MY LOCATION WTF LOL") turned me into a pretty patient guy. I used this patience to work as tech support for a company for half a year and now I'm doing a lot of freelance work. Started my own small hosting business as well. I'm pretty sure, had I not learned how to be patient as fuck, I probably would've cussed back at a lot of rude customers during my days as a tech support. I use a lot of patience to deal with people who have zero idea on how to setup their own website, much less use a control panel to do so, on a daily basis.
People who developed intricate gamemodes, filterscripts and etc. for SA-MP, were you able to move on to other languages and find work in the IT industry?
Server owners, admins and helpers, did the experience in managing a community give you a boost in finding a management-related career?
