So, working in the gaming industry shouldn't be your only job?
Also, besides working on the game itself I'm sure he would also find joy in test running the game to see how it plays out and such. Though, I'm unsure if that actually requires any sort of degree or not.
Thank you so much for the advice ^^

I'm saying that you never just get to be the idea man of the game industry. You have multiple responsibilities. You work as what you are hired for but you work in teams, pitch ideas, talk about things. It's not quite as simple as many kids think.

That is a thing and no it doesn't require a degree from what I know. Other than that i don't know the specifics but companies do pay game testers to look for bugs and other such things.

Then is it possible to start off as a video game tester and work your way up? Especially if your working on a computer engineering degree?

Unsure. It's possible but computer engineering has nothing to do with video games. That's more computer internals and such. If that's his degree he would be looking at things like ASUS, Intel, Apple, ect. Places that make computer parts.

Gotcha. To be honest he hasn't picked a specific major. All he is sure of is that he wants to work with games but wants to pick an 'easy' major. The only problem with that is that each major has its own difficulties.

There is no easy major really haha. I mean there are but they are typically worthless so he's just gonna have to bite the bullet figure out what he might like best and try out a class or two of it.

Besides the gaming industry, do you know of any other industries that are similar to it?

That depends on what you mean by similar. 90% of fields a that involve interactive graphics are going to have the same jobs. If he really wants to get into the gaming field tell him to look here: http://www.riotgames.com/careers It's a good example of the various things you can do. Sometimes you will be connected directly with the game and other times not.

Yes but MMO companies tend not to run their programmers into the ground as they don't need to release yearly games and instead just improve upon a game or two. The ones I talked about one is in San Mateo CA and the other is in a city in georgia. I'd rather go to the CA one though or any place in CA

Lief, it's just everything changed when the fire nation att-, I mean, hahaha, but yeah, having a few unsettling things occur throughout your teens years would kind of cause you to become a bit more responsible and mature, but eh. Also I would love to point our, that me following Liger around, well I don't have an excuse for that, let's just leave it at the fact that it was a "senpaii notice me" kind of thing, which let to me attempting to show off for attention. For the all bark, no bite... I can't argue that. xd I still have fire though, I mean, well it's more of a small candle, but in seriousness I revisited some of my older post, and god I was a annoying.

I see, well that's understandable, but listen before we run into an altercation, there are three things you cannot disrespect in my presence. One is The Real Housewives of Orange County, leggings, and Starbucks Coffee. xd Though in seriousness I totally agree the candy is a bit sweeter, but my kid hates anything coffee, which might question if she really is related to me because we are a coffee loving family. talk2hand And I see, that backs up the notion that you love animals to not have a favorite (mine is a Lion just to get it out there) I also fully agree with your statement about the difference in work loads and responsibilities, but the English Teacher is basically a job for the moment until I can get fully on my feet with the Engineering business, and yes ma'am that's the hope that, that there degree helps me in the long haul.

You probably would have beaten me as well, I wasn't very prolific in Roleplaying, and it would've most likely ended up in a slaughter, but we should definitely duke it out if a certain someone would allow me into the Contest.

*Cough* Troublemaker... *Cough*, oh wait, excuse me, let me use your official title, Proffesional Troublemaker. Though in seriousness, when you get a chance, I hope it wouldn't be much of a bother if you set everything up so I can begin roleplaying in your event Karan. sweatdrop 3nodding

I was kidding about the leggings, RHOC, and Starbucks, but yeah I understand. I prefer regular jeans because... Well I am a young man, don't think leggings would really conform to my body to well, but maybe...? Nah... Hahaha, but seriously? That's kind of ridiculous that the Christians are getting offended because Starbucks doesn't feel like adding Seasonal Accents to their cups. rolleyes If I may be sincere Nicole, I've never really had Starbucks.
