[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It may work out as a career--it's a huge and growing industry. What most people actually do in game design is not what most kids fantasize about though. But still dreams are what get people through the work to move towards them. CS degrees can be rough and tedious if he's not committed to that though. College--especially at a really good school--is a place where you discover your interests.

[/quote] That's what a game design major does -- explore all the areas: music, art, creative writing, computer science, business, psychology, neuroscience, etc. All of the things that make a game work.[/quote] ^^ This is the GMU approach.
