GAMES: GameSpot GameFAQs MOVIES: Metacritic Movietome Comic-Con
Wednesday, Jun 11, 2008

Yep, last week I took the last test (possibly) for the rest of my life. Not sure what was on in it, though...it was all in a foreign language.

Now, on to pursuing a career in the game industry!

How far are you guys in school? When do you graduate? If you've graduated, what kind of work do you do?

Congratulations! It must me a relief to have it all done. I'm old- I finished my 5 year Bachelor's back in 2001 in Music Education...I worked in the public schools for a bit, but now I run my own studio. Being your own boss has it's perks.

Good luck with your next chapter....

Congratulations man!! wlecome to the big world of possibilities and new responsibilities, I hope you get what you wish for.
I wish all the good luck for you.
And I graduated back in 2005 in mechanical engineering and I work now in the engineering dept in the ministry of multimedia ( TV, FM and such, I don't know what it is called exactly in english lol).

Wow, congratulations man. I'm currently headed into my third year, pursuing my Bachelors in Fine Arts in the field of Journalism (as you probably already know by now) and I'm strongly considering taking up a minor in Education. It may mean a little extra time in school but I've been told I have certain qualities that would make me an excellent English teacher so, it's always good to have that to fall back on, just in case.

Good luck with your future endeavors in the gaming industry, from what I've seen, you'll fit in just fine. Who knows, perhaps we'll meet up someday at E3.

Congrats dude.

I graduate HS on the 18th of June and I am attending a private college in the fall for a degree in Computer Science

Congrats dude.

My sister is actually graduating this week too from UCLA. As for me... I am not in school currently because I'm working to leave on my mission. Hopefully in the next 2-3 months I'll know where I'm going and so then I should be leaving shortly after around that time. I want to leave sometime in late September if possible

Congrats, and I hope for the best.

Congrats and good luck in the industry.

I'm heading into my freshman year of college. My major is computer science. More specifically...Game Design & Development. I'll need luck.

One more semester for me...

Then I take over the world!

Wow CONGRATULATIONS!

What sector of the gaming industry are you looking into development or journalism...I'd guess it's the obvious one but you never know. Personally I am musing the idea of obtaining a bachelors in graphic and web design...but current life situations don't seem to favor that at the moment, maybe a few years down the road I will find myself free from granting other the privilage to ride into school on my back when they finish and get good jobs I can quit my less that mediocre job selling electronics at paltry hours and wages and ride their back into school. But hey, who knows where the winds will take me eh?

I wish you the best of luck wherever you may end up mastering your works of art.

Congratulations. I still have a year to go in my two-year college. From there, not yet sure.
Posted Jun 17, 2008 4:15 pm PT
Congrats man. I just finished the year before my last year in school (don't know how to say it better ). After that I'll maybe make a trip through Europe and then I'll start to study. I'm probably going to study medicine and become a doctor.

Congrats man! Good luck with the next step, I'm sure you'll do great.

I've got about 2 years left, I'm not really sure what I wanna do after. lol, I really wanna just find some rich old billionaire, marry her, and get the money when she's done.

jg4xchamp: cool man, I considered law once. I like to argue, in case you didn't notice, lol. But I felt the game industry pulling me.

Syrinx: wow, you run your own studio? Must be very talented. What kinda music do you teach?

HAZE-Unit: cool stuff, man, I don't know much about engineering, but I know it is not for the weak of heart or mind.

Game: I've read your stuff and I know you have big things waiting in your future. Seriously. You're gonna be the next Greg Kasavin or somethin'.

ragek1: computer science? Going into game development?

yoshi: Mission? As in like...Operation Snake Eater?

enigma: cool man, good luck to ya. Lookin' forward to playing your games

Spruce: Oh god...we're all doomed!

Jynxor: I'm looking to get into game industry marketing....the journalism thing was just for fun (I'm not a very good journalist, lol). Good luck to you man, I hope you achieve your goal of becoming a graphic/web designer.

wdave: congrats man, Apple's a great company, very cutting edge.

Mordred: Thanks dude, don't worry about not knowing--I didn't know what I was doing til senior year of college.

uRan_Ehr: Doctor? Cool. My sister's a doc.

TVB: dude, I can always count on you for a laugh. Rich old billionaire? What happened to Adriana Lima??
Posted Jul 3, 2008 12:19 am PT
Meeting Adriana is in my grand plan, but I'm being realistic here.

I need to marry the billionaire first. If I marry the old billionare, and then she dies, I will get most of the money. So, with that money, I will buy out Victoria's Secret! And the rest will be history.

The school I am going to allows you to get a Comp Sci degree with a video game concentration. So I may go for that and I'll still get my Bachelor's of Computer Science degree as well.
Posted Jul 8, 2008 12:54 pm PT
TVB: lol wow....you are an evil genius....

ragek1: covering all your bases--that's a good game plan
