hmmm looks like some good finds.
Im filling in my college application today.
Video gaming it is.
congrats. you stick with it. and dont give up. its not an easy field to get in, its very competitive so be prepared.
ive got a friend who graduated as a graphics designer or something like that. all i know is that his degree was totally unrelated to video gaming, but he got a job at vivendi as a QA tester and has moved up the ladder a bit. he now has a handful of people working under him.
i also wanted to get in the gaming industry, but i soon realized that i liked playing them a lot more than making them. theres no way i can work on a game for 1+ years and still feel motivated/excited for that project.

Cosmic claims there is ALOT of maths involved. Correct? I hate maths.

In the UK you require A-grade Maths A Level to do a computer science course at uni. They couldn't give two shits about the 'computing' lessons you do at hight school/college
math is FTW anyways, i use math all the time for normal everyday stuff.
Another thing a person should do, is alot of reading like D4rk said, but 1up and IGN has a lot of developer blogs/diary's check them out on a daily and soak all of that info in.
yay thanks for the adds LZ
I actually recieved a call for my first break, but i couldnt accept the job offer since the HQ was too far for my liken.
*gasp* we can not subscribe to our threads...
yet [d4rk]
* ...i pesters people to pester d4rk about subscription threads
any new breaks, JM? i've transferred schools, so starting next semester i'll be on the right path to the career i want XD
Those subscriptions fail. We needed auto subscription and easy accesability ...
(Links snake here to say his piece on career)

not yet. besides the fact, for those who do not have the funds to actually attent a Jr College or Uni, I would advise you also to try vocational schools. In my area, there are at least 10 different vocational schools that will help in every need. They also offer fundemental and intermediate graphic design/programing/ect class for as little as $100.
and those classes can be used towards college credits.

as for me, im not sure yet. I want to persue it. but Im taking coursing for so many things now [English major, Teaching Credintials, and Business... W00t]
And D4rk, you rock.
Become a tester! I just started testing SPORE this week... Nuff sed.
