Got talent? Creative? Consider a career in gaming!

Though I am in no way a “gamer” – or even a real fan of video gaming – I do find it interesting how all of those little worlds are created and built and packaged together.  Having the ability to go beyond just envisioning a virtual world, to creating one, seems like a pretty cool talent.  And to do that for a living?  And a good living?

While many recent college graduates are having a difficult time finding jobs in the US, computer science grads have one up on those with other degrees.  Furthermore, the gaming industry wants to hire innovative, creative thinkers who are passionate about the industry – and who are of a younger crowd.

For those of you interested in gaming – or who have enjoyed the computer science department’s course “Building Virtual Worlds (CSCI120)” – perhaps a career in this field is the right fit for you.
