Made a decision.

There's not enough of something I'd like in the game universe.

I'll try and get into the business.

Got much to learn. Payed a fortune and bought a ticket.

Wish me best!

cool story..?

Could you elaborate a bit as I'm not too sure what you mean.

You'll find no 'but'.

I want to make games. Video games.

Make some kick ass [censored], man. Good luck.

That's great. Good luck. Do you have any concrete plans?

I know a few people that are going to school for game design. Kind of makes me wish I had decided to go that route after high school.

K.

Good luck.

People thought John Rockefeller was crazy when he and his brother bought an oil rig and started their own company. JP Morgon's dad told him not to invest in anything risky, and he ended up founding General Electric by not listening to his dad. Vanderbilt took a one hundred dollar loan in the mid 1800's to buy a steam boat and ended up being a rail road baron.

From what I understand, the vast majority of people who go to school for game design, don't actually end up in game design.

Seriously though, OP, where did you get a ticket to, exactly? A plan usually goes pretty well with an idea.

Thats true of an awful lot of degrees though. When i worked in a call centre of the people I trained with 1 had a degree in Film Studies, another Information Technology and Business. If the degree you do isn't likely to lead to the job you want you might as well do the degree that interests you most.

2 tickets to Paradise... I think it was in a movie

True, however I'm not sure the same thing applies to a game design degree.

From an employers perspective, having a degree in "game design" probably isn't as marketable as say, having a degree in a more standard Liberal Arts degree (which are often the types of degrees where you don't end up in what you study). Its a hard sell I'd say. Especially since 1. it tends to have a stigma about it and 2. most colleges that offer decrees in game design tend to be those "Full Sail" for-profit college models. Which aren't the most respectable.

"Study what you love" is great, but you should be practical as well. Especially considering how much you generally pay for a four year degree in the U.S. A solid degree choice is one which has a balance between practicality and 'what you love'.
