Is game development a good career path?

We Answered:

are you good at it? do you have great ideas? if you answered no to either of these questions, i would say no. video game design is VERY HARD i have been in classes about it. and if you don't have an idea on the next best game, you will not succeed, and you cant copy other ideas, like making a football game called BSPN 10, it will just not work...

Alexander Said:

What game development career earns the most money and how much do game engine programmers.?

We Answered:

Game programmers make more money than game designers or artists. There's a game industry salary survey from 2006 here: http://gamecareerguide.com/features/266/… that gives the averages for each branch of game development. Within game programming, database programmers probably make the most, followed by engine programmers. AI programmers might be well paid for a specific game if they are *highly* qualified in AI programming, but generally AI programmers aren't paid any higher than other game programmers. I don't think console programmers are paid more than other types of game programmers, but they are probably in higher demand, especially during the early years of a console cycle.
