What job are you aiming to have soon?

[IkeTheGeneric]

I want to be a professional PI who is undercover as a professional chef and tries to stop a drug cartel from robbing a pharmacy, and after the gang leader shoots and kills two people, I have to protect the key witness to the crime: A five year old boy who's the child of the two victims.

i may probably go to a video game development college

Game development courses are a waste of time and restrict your career - especially if you can't get into a games company. What's your fallback plan? If you actually have a useful degree like computer science then you can fall back into software development if games don't work out. Choosing super specific courses like that isn't going to help you.

I remember a bunch of kids at my school wanting to go do "games development at that awesome university in Aberdeen!!1" and by the time they got around to filling out their UCAS aged 17-18, none of them applied for Aberdeen.

Aww... you know what, you're right, play testing is just so loving far-fetched it's crazy!

I don't know why you'd aim so low for a career. Kids have absolutely romanticized the job - "Wow I get paid to sit around and play games all day with an unlimited supply of mountain dew lol" - but the reality is it's just grunt work. The pay's crap, the work is monotonous and everyone wants to do it because they think it's awesome.

I wanna do it so I can spare people like me the frustration of having to deal with game-breaking errors and annoying glitches.

lol "game development"
have they actually made a real degree out of this? lol. its like a gimped up version of a real IT degree.

I use to get pissed at guys i met online who were taking "networking" classes or something, classes at colleges.
they would say like "yeah what did you get into when you got your certification"

Bisjac: "well, i tossed that one, along with the 100 others i got into the trash when they handed me my Masters of Science IT diploma"

Or an astronaut.

I'm going to go to college for like ever for two of the possible jobs; engineering or heart surgery.
The other one I'll still go to college for, but not so long; commercial pilot.
And after years of experience, I'm going to later try to become an Airbus pilot, if I choose to be a pilot.

One of them's bound to work out.

You watch and believe too many movies

I have this strange feeling, reminiscent of when I see a joke.
Maybe it has something to deal with my sense of humor.

The only thing I hate more than jerkoff kids wanting to be engineers are jerkoff kids wanting to make/play video games for a living.

[captain blue]

Astronaut.

[Monocle]

Next year I'm going to college for a dual major in Business and Interior Design, I hope to eventually start my own interior design business, but for the time being, I work at the local computer store and fix peoples computers :D

Thinking about web designer.

[Tingalz]

Something to do with science and physics. I guess in my earlier years (~18-22) I could try indie developing.

[MillCzarr]

Most of the Kid's think when they get older is to become Game Developers. They always mostly say "I wanna go to college to become a game designer! It would be so cool. I make a game, and then I can play it, when a lot of people are playing it too". Yeah well guess what, when your working on the game 1 year straight, it's boring as heck, to play it, since your sick of testing/fixing.
