If I worked in a video game company, do I get to play lots of video games?
Hi I'm wondering if there's a real job where I can play video games all the time if I work at a video game company. I am in high school and will apply to college next year. I really really really love playing video games. On weekends I can play games all day long alone or with friends or my brothers.

What major for interests in sustainable/alternative/nuclear power engineering/generation, sustainable urban planning, architecture, research, material science, civil infrastructure...?
Hello! I am a high school senior trying to apply to colleges and figure out my major, but I feel very indecisive. I'd like to have opportunities to research and develop new technologies and alternative energies!! Maybe even in a nuclear plant!? And also solutions to dealing with nuclear waste and stuff like that. I want to design efficient and environmentally friendly solutions to energy problems. As well as implementing electrical power systems in the world as well. And of course, chemistry is super interesting I've also been creative my whole life, and growing up in a plain city, I really love looking at and, on rare occasions, visiting places with interesting, beautiful, and tall buildings, as well as appreciating inviting designs that promote sustainability and walkability and I would love to contribute to a more beautiful world in this way as well. So maybe architecture/architectural engineering would be good for me? I also am really excited about civil engineering labs (I hear you get to build stuff? Cool!!) I also have an interest in getting into the nitty-gritty of situations and hashing out the details as well as the big picture. On an unrelated note, I've also had an interest in videogame design + programming, graphic design, and animation my whole life. Are there any good colleges with clubs like this where I can grow my skills in these areas, but still focus on engineering and do well? Is there any other factors I should consider when picking a major? Or anything else I could look into to get to know myself a bit more and see what I really prefer? Any options to somehow do everything I just listed?? Also I am learning about hydraulic engineering and I really like the sound of it a LOT but AHHHH there's so much and ofc transportation but mostly you already know the rest of the stuff I wrote.. I know most of this points to maybe like Civil Engineering with a minor in Electrical Engineering and a concentration in Structural engineering,, but I really am going to be sad forever that I won't be a physicist or a energy engineer or a researcher or a hydraulic engineer or a nuclear engineer... Maybe I could do architecture in the future but yeah 😭😭 Also I really wanted to do physics for a while could I start my education all over again when I'm older and have a career and do research

Can I get a job at a video game company from high school without going to college?
I heard that video game companies hire people from high school, and you can still be a success. Is that true? What do they do? I don't know how to make games yet, but I would be willing to learn. Also if there are other jobs that I can get from high school that aren't making the games, but are still at the video game company, then I would be willing to learn to do that too. I don't think my school really teaches me anything about jobs (it's just a lot of social studies and math and science and writing) but I really want to learn about how to be a success, and I like playing video games a lot and talking about video games with my friends. If I do have to go to college, then it's a lot of money for me and my family, so if college is really important, then can I still be a success if I go to a state school instead of going to a private college that costs more money? #college #video-games #gaming #job-requirements

I'm a 3d generalist, but I mainly want to show off my modeling in Zbrush.
How do I become a game designer? (Might sound silly, but please take a look:))
Right of the bat I'd like to apologize for what is probably going to be a pretty long post. Hello everyone who looks into this page. I am Alex and next year I'll be finishing high-school. The traditional 12 year grid if you will :D. It is a really confusing time for me now, because I should already know what I'm going to do after finishing school and where I'm going to do it, but unfortunately I don't... At least not entirely. For about 4 years now I've been really into writing stories and making games, it is a big passion of mine so a thought crossed my mind that I would feel truly happy if I could do that for a living, not just as a hobby. I've been working with easy-to-use programs such as RPG maker XP and VX and even now I am working on releasing a visual novel, so I think it's clear that it's not something I came up with just because I played a really good game or just because I think it's easy. I am well aware that it's a hard, long and challenging process, but despite that, I still wanna do it. It would mean a world to me if someone could give me tips how to achieve this goal... What kind of college or university should I try to join? What's the first step towards this? And perhaps if I'm really lucky I could even talk privately with someone working in the video game industry... Being from a small country in EU I have no family or friends who are in this field so I am completely blind. And yes, I am ready to start at the very bottom. Heck, I could even wash toilets as long as there is a chance for a promotion into writing a story line, designing "character's character" and quests. I hope this reaches someone that is willing to assist me and thank you in advance! #career #career-paths #design #video-games #game
