When should I apply for this job?

I would apply now, and send your transcript with the work you've completed. If they want to see the final one with your degree posted, they will ask for it and you can send it later.

Web development, is it a good career?

We Answered:

You can definitely make a good living on web development, my friend got a decent paying job right out of high school and without any further schooling has had many offers from other places. He does projects for other companies while staying a programmer for the main one he works at. Also many businesses are going more web-based so this line of work will really be needed in the future. You'll do great :)

I think it would be a huge advantage because there are other combined areas you can get into to make a lot of money. You will have sought after qualifications.

Jesse Said:

Can I get into a career in game development with a degree in Multimedia Programming?

We Answered:

Sure you can. First of all, there aren't that many degree programs just for game development.

You only need a bachelor's degree. Even if you eventually want a master's, you're better off getting the bachelor's and at least 2-3 years of work experience before bothering with a master's. For programming, employers want to know you've done it on the job.

If your school offers courses in game development and game theory, take them. Even if you later move on to something else, other types of software are increasingly using game skills. For example, educational and medical simulations use them, and even some business and advertising software use certain aspects.

Even if your school has no game-oriented courses, you can work games or game elements into your projects for other courses and show these to prospective employers.

Also, you can get an internship at a game company during college.

Looking into video game developer career?

We Answered:

Well a college course then going onto to get a degree at Uni is your best bet.
theres 3 paths in gaming;
Game Programmaer - the coding etc, if your into that than great.
take up an IT orientated college course, n have a mess wiht stuff like Microsoft XNA.
Game Designer - coem up wiht the ideas, levels concept art etc
good drawing skills, as well as a great imagination so an art degree would be good.
Game artist - make the pretty stuff, back drops, 3d models etc.
good photoshop skillls 3d model skills etc, so look up a course that offers that, pick up a copy of any Unreal game n use UnrealEd or get XSI Mod Tools n have a practice.

2 of my mates are doing Games art route n the other Design, it appaers very few peopel liek the idea of coding.
Looks pretty fun, though it cna be very strict, such as limiting a model to 1000 Polys etc. but they all seem to enjoy it.
