But it depends on what you want...are you on the programmer side or the artistic side? Most people assume you're a programmer if you work in games but that's ignorant. I can tell you from an artistic standpoint, there are storyboard/concept artists, 3d modelers, graphic artists, animators/riggers, texture artists, level designers. And education won't get you a job. You'll also have to do some work on your own (make some levels, model people/architecture, program a level) and know someone who can help you. Also, learn the programs more on your own. It's a crapload of work, so be prepared.<a href="http://www.chefcookingware.com/944"> pinkFX</a> I’m actually looking to work in the same thing.
