[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Gaming can be incredibly creative and it is a huge industry with lots of career opportunities (I mean even something like composing the music for them). I will continue to encourage my kid to explore lots of interests.[/quote] OK, but in fairness, those opportunities are for careers that mostly suck, because lots and lots of people want to get into the gaming biz, and, well, you know what they say about supply and demand. This does not mean that one can't leverage the *skills* into something else -- e.g. programming for gaming when a teen supports programming for web services when in one's twenties. But the gaming industry, while not as awful as Hollywood, is not where you want an adult child to be.[/quote]
