  2. miyamoto couldn't really tell the truth which is getting a full time job in japan is hard. especially a job that pays decent. miyamoto himself had a hard time getting a job after graduation. online sources said he graduated in the early 1970s with his degree in industrial design. he didn't get any work until his father who had a mutual friend who was friends with hiroshi yamauchi of nintendo arranged for a job interview with the owner/ceo yamauchi. miyamoto had to really standout so he showcased some toys he made in his own time to yamauchi which impressed yamauchi enough to offer him a apprentice job in the product planning department. so imagine going up to 3 years with no work which would have stressed the sh-t out of miyamoto and well there you have it. he got steady pay steady work and was too scared of looking for another job and probably owed nintendo some kind of loyalty for taking a chance on him.
