[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]bGame design. BCreative writing. Heck, literature at all. There are some majors where all the pieces are out there and available to everyone for self-study, and if your kid hasn’t taken advantage of any of that before college then doing it for a major is a waste of time and money. Most computer science degrees are also in this category. [/quote] Strongly disagree. Game Design is a very tough field to break into and get a job. It’s unlikely your kid can enter the field with a solid company using yoir method. Your kid needs to go to an institution that gets their majors internships and jobs. My DS went to GMU for its Game Design major. He had internships every summer. His last internship was at VSGI (Virginia Serious Games Institute) at GMU’s high tech campus. He had an offer from Bethesda SoftWorks before graduation, and has been employed by MicroSoft (it owns Bethesda) ever since.[/quote]
