Eulices / Costa Rica 
What is your dream job?
Hi, my name is Eulices and I'm from Costa Rica. My question is, what is your dream job?
Since I very much like video games, I've always wanted to get into that industry, even if Costa Rica is not one country that has a lot of development in it. I would like to develop games because I enjoy them very much, but I would also like to cover them as member of the press. I like writing about them and going to conventions and speaking to developers about their current projects and anything they're working on.
I like this medium because it's very innovative. It continues to push forward in a way that most other media does not. And it's currently one of the most interesting fields of work out there. So that's why that would be my dream job..
