Graduation!?

[robinmitra1]

I want to enter the field of gaming(i.e. designer, programmer, etc.). But do I have to have a graduate degree, if I'm already a good animator, modeller, programmer, etc. but not a graduate. In other words I want to know that is graduate degree a must for entering the game development line. If yes please tell me which degree should I go for.
Waiting for your reply.

Nope, the key component in entering the field as any other entertainment based field, is who you know.

So unless you are REALLY good are what you do. I'd network, and try to meet people in the industry.

you see in england its totally differant because its that special piece of paper that says.....'pick me' and to be honest, over here i dont think it would work without one unless u have ur own buisness then you make the rules

[robinmitra1]

I think you are right, the_artist_one. So, I'm considering doing computer engineering(B.E./B.Tech.). How about that!?

id say follow your dream....whatever tht may be...........i think that anyone can achieve their goal if they put their mind to it...some people just have to give a little more time than others lol

got a friend that is going to an art school to be a computer animator. Its a school in Florida he says with any luck he could end up with and internship at Disney you might be interested in something like that.

thePharaoh & the_artist_one your suggestions are just about right for me but I asked some people in the game development field via emails & they said the I should concentrate on just one field(programming, designing, etc.), as you said. But they also said that it is always a good thing to have sound knowlege in the other parts as well as it will increase my chances of getting a good job.
