Re: game colleges

[Edsel Condez <condeze1@yahoo.com>]

not only that, but digipen requires students to take
20 hours a semester so that's $12,000 a year no
financial aid.  they said that they are going to be
able to offer financial aid next year and that most
students get loans from a bank.  i dunno, it sounds
like they are really milking it, but they did say the
job fill rate after 2 or 4 year programs is close to
100% (or used to be).  from what they tell me they say
that they mainly train u to be a programmer, getting a
job as a game designer is a bit harder i think.  but
if that's the case then it would probably be good to
get a CS degree at some college and at least learn
theory, although u won't be able to work with graphic
stuff and probably be bored with it like i was.
