How do you recommend building your experience in game development to get into a relatively good job out of college?

I have heard that game development is a somewhat difficult job to get into straight out of college, so is there any specific advice you could give me for me to follow throughout college? What types of things should I study/explore, and what kind of internships should I seek?

What should I focus on from day one in college if I want to build my own tech business in AI and software?

I’m a high school senior who plans to study Artificial Intelligence Methods and Applications at Penn State. I’m interested in AI, software development, and entrepreneurship, and my long-term goal is to build my own tech business instead of only following a traditional job path. I already have some experience with coding and I’m trying to think ahead about what actually matters most once college starts. Should I focus more on internships, personal projects, networking, business knowledge, or something else? I’d really appreciate advice from people who have worked in software, AI, startups, or tech entrepreneurship and can speak honestly about what helps the most early on.

"I am currently a BSIT student learning languages like C and Python. For someone looking to enter the tech industry, is it better to focus on mastering one language deeply or becoming a generalist in several"?

I am a second-year BSIT student currently learning languages like C and Python. I also do some freelance graphic design and social media management on the side. As I look toward my future career in tech, I'm trying to decide if I should dive deep into one specific stack or if having a broad knowledge of many different tools is more valuable in the current job market

I'm afraid AI will take over most of those type jobs but also have heard the ones on top will be the ones using AI. I want to start a new career path but just worried what AI will do to it. Any advice will be helpful and the best way to start this career. I am new to the field and need to learn so any advice on schooling, learning, etc... would be helpful. I am currently working on my own website and app projects and watching tutorial videos and LinkedIn learning videos. Realistically what do I need to proceed and succeed.

How competitive is the software engineering field? Will a regular bachelor's degree in computer science GUARANTEE a spot in IT? As a resident in Maryland, does being a software engineer require you to live in a urban/city area? Are their any software engineers that are successful that live in more suburban to rural areas? (I'd like to live in a suburban area)

I am a 15 year old high school student in the state of Maryland, and I have a slight interest in the field of IT (specifically software engineering). Time is running short so I'd like to ask some questions about the field.

How do you approach debugging or troubleshooting issues in a large codebase?

I feel that there are a lot of debugging when it comes to coding, my experience in middle school/high school main concerns were about how to try and fix the code, but obviously its just a small portions, so how do actual engineers debug code while dealing with a database of codes and programs.

What is future of Junior Software Developer in Uprising AI trend Is anyone going to take care of them to make them ready for career ? ?

Many individuals are losing their jobs due to the increasing use of AI, as large organizations continue to automate roles in the name of productivity and cost efficiency. These companies often justify layoffs by claiming they are necessary to streamline operations and reduce expenses, but the human impact is often overlooked. The affected employees are not just numbers — they are people with families, aspirations, and contributions that go beyond mere output. Despite this growing trend, there seems to be no strong or unified community pushing back against corporations that aggressively replace humans with machines. There are no significant boycotts or movements calling for accountability or ethical boundaries in how AI is implemented. It raises the question — why is there so little resistance when livelihoods are being sacrificed in the name of technological progress? While innovation is essential, it should not come at the cost of human dignity and widespread job insecurity. As AI continues to evolve, there is a pressing need for society to create balanced systems that prioritize both advancement and human welfare. Without collective action or dialogue, we risk allowing powerful entities to reshape the workforce without any regard for its long-term social consequences.
