Are you guys going to head into the game development industry or doing something else? Programming, professional art design maybe? Few years back, a lot of people used to talk about doing this professionally, never heard from them since.

Me, I think it's weird. I dabbled in just about everything. A bunch of people want me to work on virtual reality, but my destiny seems to be in electromagnetic wave engineering, so I guess I'll end up doing boring stuff, the coolest of which might be changing my voice to sound like someone else's

And then again, I've learned a lot from both engineering theories and the natural selection principle and I have a stronger grasp on the grittiest part of game design but almost no grasp on the easy part Game design looks like an OK job, flexible hours, similar pay, but it's going to be a lonelier one.

Programming results in sanity loss, alcoholism, anti-social tendencies.
But a person like me respects programmers in all ways.

Me, I'm facinated by mycology(research and synthesis of useful mold and fungie)

I've grown magical mushrooms and gotten halfway to synthesizing ergot into LSD-25 and then isolated DSL-25 in an old photohut, its really interesting stuff.

I'm going to be working for ____ or ____ by the years end, depending on who can give the best deal. If I get bored of games I'd love to get into property development and renovation. My godfather does it now and he's always had fun.

And then spend my later years as a lecturer or tutor or something. Probably in design since I'm a mega stickler on it.

I want to get into 3d modeling, and work as a game graphic artist.
I've had this goal for the past like 4 years.

I thought you said page 3 modelling then! lol

I'll never do this for a living, though it is what i wanted to do when i was at school/college. I'll keep climbing the managerial ladder at work for now. Until i get my test with a leading Formula 1 team, that is!

Work on my portfolio and become a concept artist or a games concept design person or something, lol. I finished my degree in animation about a year and a half ago, but none of my uni work Id ever show because it's pretty crap. The problem about working on art for a portfolio is that ive got to be in the mood for it, I can't just open photoshop or illustrator and make a piece of art I'm truly happy with.

I'm currently studying Engineering at university... It's too hard for me. I should just drop out and become a heavy box lifter or something. Maybe a welfare abuser. I don't know. I've never had a job. Maybe I'll become a water-slide test pilot; that's every man's second favourite job. =P

The only time I ever earned money was at the casino by trying out the Martingale system on roulette and baccarat. But I hit a losing streak and lost everything. Lol.

Ask me two years ago and I would have said professional video game development, mostly programming. However, now I'm seeing myself more as a designer, since I love making up cool ideas the best of all VGDev tasks.

And also... I'm thinking about being an eye doctor.

I always thought I'd have plenty of time to decide, and the time of decision is creeping up on me! O_o

I'm going for Coast Guard. Doesn't even remotely have anything to do with game development, closest thing to it is the ginormous simulators at the naval academy.
