I was mindlessly putting shit on the shelf today at work and a strange question popped into my head. What the hell do all the other c-bloggers do for income? And then another question glazed my brain... is anyone planning on actually getting into the video game biz at all and what are they doing about it. Personally i have put off school for long enough and have decided to go into an applied arts degree with graphic design in mind.. from there my ultimate goal would be creating my own studio and becoming a game designer. Sounds like a rough task every time i think about it but i think it will be worth it just to use all the ideas in my head. Oh and i can finally get a team together to make the long awaited sequel..

So yeah that's my plan... currently i'm a team lead at a dead end job known as target. Whats everyone else's?

also, Y.F.V.G.S.

Tragic Hero

I currently am an office assistant. Im going to graduate with a Computer Science degree at the end of the year and hopefully I will have my C# certification sometime this year so I can start being a business programmer.

I wanted to be a video game programmer until i learned of the hardships that come with it. Plus with all the advancements in technology the average video game programmer has to know a shit load of physics now.

There's a forum post dedicated to this somewhere. I don't know if it's a sticky or whatnot, but it's there.

This really shouldn't be a blog, but I'm not flaming or anything. It's not like you're pushing down something spectacular right now, so have fun asking questions in the form of a blog.
