Well, game design is incredibly competitive. Everyone wants to go into it. I'd suggest a business-oriented path for an easier time finding employment.

Also, C++ is a great thing to have on a resume, especially if you're doing games. Best bet is to get a formal education in it, though. It looks better on a resume.

If you really want to get into game design, you have to commit to it. I'd personally love to get into the field professionally in some ways, but on the other hand, I know I'm not as aggressive as I'd need to be to ensure I got employed (which is very) and it would also mean I'd have to give up on all my pet projects. I really don't think they'd like me doing games on the side when games are my day job. /selfabsorbedtangent

Computer science is a wonderful field, though. Talk to an advisor about your options. That's probably the best bet.

I'm gone from here for good. This place gave me many memories to take with me and shaped me greatly. I still care about you guys. I just can't stay.
