[quote=Anonymous][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/.

+1.  The Game Design majors at the Mason Korea campus can call their own shots (along with the Cyber Security major graduates) when it comes to hiring.  Mason Korea (Songdo, South Korea).  from wiki

Songdo Campus
Korean: 송도 캠퍼스

Country	 South Korea
Region	Seoul Capital Area (Sudogwon)

Opened in March 2014, the Songdo campus is in South Korea's Incheon Free Economic Zone, a 42,000-acre (66 sq mi) site designed for 850,000 people. It's 25 miles (40 km) from Seoul and a two-hour flight from China and Japan, and is connected to the Seoul Metropolitan Subway.

The Commonwealth of Virginia considers the Songdo campus legally no different from any other Mason campus, "... board of visitors shall have the same powers with respect to operation and governance of its branch campus in Korea as are vested in the board by the Code of Virginia with respect to George Mason University in Virginia ..."[85]

Mason Korea students will spend the sixth and seventh semesters (one year) on the Fairfax Campus, with all other course work to be completed in Songdo. George Mason University Korea offers seven undergraduate programs: Management, Finance, Accounting, Economics, Global Affairs, Conflict Analysis and Resolution, and Computer Game Design. Mason Korea also has two graduate programs: Systems Engineering and IB & ESOL.

Mason Korea's first commencement class graduated in December 2017.[86] Students from Mason Korea earn the same diploma as home campus students, with English as the language of instruction.[/quote]

Maybe.

But, of the 2022 graduates with a BFA in Game Design, (48 total), they are almost all non-asian names, like Brandon and Andrew and Samuel and Max, with a few Anna's and Danielles.  Doesn't seem like many Korean kids or Asian American kids are getting BFA degrees in video game design.  https://learn-us-east-1-prod-fleet01-xythos.content.blackboardcdn.com/blackboard.learn.xythos.prod/5a30bcf95ea52/46164447?X-Blackboard-Expiration=1654560000000&X-Blackboard-Signature=ydX4KJuXkQaNNAUJ1PEyB5X5TrLpDXYPlvRjoEzcne8%3D&X-Blackboard-Client-Id=200078&response-cache-control=private%2C%20max-age%3D21600&response-content-disposition=inline%3B%20filename%2A%3DUTF-8%27%272022_CVPA-DC-Program_for-ATI_Plunkett_ATI.pdf&response-content-type=application%2Fpdf&X-Amz-Security-Token=IQoJb3JpZ2luX2VjEMz%2F%2F%2F%2F%2F%2F%2F%2F%2F%2FwEaCXVzLWVhc3QtMSJGMEQCICIhljbcy8VuUkxzBT38CWKZq6VQTGF3RdnwRfjHYBGHAiBtoVmlJIppGp%2F2rqYWlGGWz%2F1rzQ1leGZFNUnJcOtUtSrcBAjF%2F%2F%2F%2F%2F%2F%2F%2F%2F%2F8BEAAaDDU1NjkwMzg2MTM2MSIM5lfeNzoO%2B1Wm0svOKrAEXxtp%2FM1OBZDQdM9J3Qq1njkjxyE7xdFAWATTsJf7YSE2JREDSZBinvyKPjC5MRtMGbdMeQoYRZMkhl6sRrwsth3l5UVkZbG650GeVmSICcqnpsa2A%2BsgPvhTWrxuQdyaqK690cOkPxy5eYcVOdmi5C8WVrkHzwIhIj2LSsiNMizDvPOhydQtGSbCrKinCVxJlXJzDjnYxyF7Mvhm7bApx9ICGkfqsmBrJXnq99HXz%2BL352ua6oGuvff2hAE%2FykgOmt0G%2FEYj7Sl%2Br9C5H%2F9qIkbQjrTTi42dGxYIEB%2Fn3I2lot4YEBW1oQ6eUAoZfAGUxOe%2FMNE1KH6NKdDzFhIQ2rj99mHZDf3oO3qciM5AZTeLo87QKhVAdXwgS%2FmdE6oKJjcDDXDb7sJTzoizTI9djw9fwRbfPqCLeEjcAN1RXnD3JvNY4zmFIcQxH54Gob0cfMC7SlSFGHq7iX%2F2p0rrjepLuuUI9j7b4SfAAIWbmc24aX9gwBHzfTWrmyi%2BHd6Yz6iUc3I76Y5Ow%2BPw8xqD3oetxCQpRIF6rTFtOxaYX%2B9JYlqh7xB4fvR6YAbn%2B2eBghk8Y361QN%2BbybKMbMvMJF8EpBr%2Ft9RSIDRWwQRdMohDBCQMq0KCGZlZHc%2BLZo7Tyuy6NhURIg9H2MycyjZm%2FlJbOXWP89b9ptMVdTSSqmkYSQyW4iNgpXz%2Fb5iAQLy609upDoeGcgKHxuILX1lYqiDFJqt3oouzEPdtPJQqf3cwpav5lAY6qgGvM3gdegNfejtBNQ4GBLuXaotOxrj8Ec%2FpHUI5Ufttip4zz9hORiutlqx%2BXlfK5HzqK5NyhoaH%2BK2K5rLr5nvjf8cd4ZeGVyrsPlM0WzoG3w2DQL7xLGiMk42JNY2GGT5BwMlKt%2Fbo3aJ%2FnNAa%2F91MJ%2BxiMJrLnnR0OZMHorHtyXZwu4ieugcuFQa7wQEu5XCS30vIi5TEEb%2FQCADclutes2dTNdMhnFJ1lQ%3D%3D&X-Amz-Algorithm=AWS4-HMAC-SHA256&X-Amz-Date=20220606T180000Z&X-Amz-SignedHeaders=host&X-Amz-Expires=21600&X-Amz-Credential=ASIAYDKQORRYQKZC4UID%2F20220606%2Fus-east-1%2Fs3%2Faws4_request&X-Amz-Signature=95e0e30688edf79c7d7ced2bc432b622ef0151572367c97497391d4fe0d71b73

If you look over at the college of Computing and Engineering, (total of over 400), there are many Asian people getting BS in computer Science.
