Breakin in da Game industry

[Guest]

Hey i was just wondering are any of you guys considering a future of breaking into the game industry? Because i am, i would go to ITT tek design school for like the video game design. I am highly considering it i love like creating crap and i love video games. So any of you youngins considering it? I have been talking to Gergination from the nCoG clan and he works for incog as a tester and he says the greatist way to break into the industry is to be a tester. Testers are paid 10-80 bucks and hour at most places.

So what you guys think?

Some facts and sites......

Ok my bud says here are some options and suggestions.

He says to be a quality analyst (Tester).

If you want to be a programer, designer, artist, etc. Then get a computer science degree.(or something close) is a very good idea.

I mean i think we all love video games here and i just think hey this is an option in life were you can still live small house but it is an option that you will actually enjoy i figure you only got 1 life might as well live it. Also the perks are nice. Free video games, maybe some free add ons. Getting to test new stuff. Though i hear it can be very annoying because you have to some days talk to everyone in the area and right down their responses and do stuff to check for a lot of bugs. But still all in all worth it. I figure if i become i developer then my life is truely completed.
