ok, so it turns out that you really DO need to live in cali, NYC or a few select other areas to make a living in the video industry. and i dont live anywhere NEAR any of those areas, so i'm going back to school, i think. With devry. i think.
BUT here's my problem. I'm going to go for some sort of programming degree, and of course, i've got two, basic choices. I can take a more general business oriented degree oooooooooorrrrrr... i can go for "gaming and simulation programming", so my question, is to dumpshock, if anyone has, or knows anyone that's had to or tried to get into the gaming industry, and is it as bad as i've heard, with needing to be a tester for ages, just for the chance to actually get into the actual programming? |
