[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD who graduated in Game Design at GMU is now at Microsoft.  Computer Science majors do very well.  The kids who can really cash in are the CyberSecurity majors.[/quote]

Did your DD get a [b]BFA in Game Design[/b], or a [b]BS in Com Sci[/b] with a minor game desgn, (or ABS in Com Sci/game desgn)?

I have real issues with paying $120K for a [b]BFA in Game Design[/b].  I know it's fine for other families.  I just can't get on board with that... and I have a kid who thinks that's his plan.  [/quote]

I don't think you know what game design is all about.  See the new top gun movie?  Almost all game design.  Game design graduates work at the Pentagon, state department and all sorts of industries where training games have to be made for test pilots, fire fighters, another 9-11 response, etc.  DS worked at the Virginia Serious Game Design Institute at GMU's Manassas campus.  https://vsgi.gmu.edu/.

There is a distinct difference between "serious game design" and video game design.  They are not the same genre.[/quote]
