Dream Job?

Postby 0okm » Wed Jun 06, 2012 8:30 pm

I can't really think of any specific one at the moment, but it'd probably have something to do with working with Photoshop. I don't really know any careers that entail that though.

Graphic Design and making advertisements and stuff. It's what my sister does for a living.


For me, it'd be video game development, preferably on the design, writing, or level creation side of things.

Are you still planning on going to college for that?

There's not much to go to college for in that field, except for programming and learning how to make storyboards/design notes, but the latter two things in that list is mainly a matter of personal preference. Level design/creation varies greatly depending on what type of game you're making, or what engine you're using. Most of the major FPS game level editors have plenty of online documentation to use. I'm already fairly competent in Hammer, the program that Valve uses for map making.

Programming and art are the areas I need to focus on if I want to make anything by myself, but I'd really rather work with someone. Typically, the more people involved in a project, the higher quality the end result will be, up to a certain point. Having too many people on a dev team means things get less organized, and money starts to become an issue.

I dream of a world where I get to wake people up by screaming violently, and then engaging in fights to the death.


That or being a soldier or something maybe I guess.

Mmm nothing gets my knockers rockin' like the study of human society! I used to be, and still am pretty into psychology. Where would you want to teach it at? (e.g. highschool, college, middle school, etc.)

High school all the way.
I was all set to go into English and teach that, mainly because I lovelovelove it and it comes very natural to me (high school lit class, for example.) but I decided to head towards soc because I enjoy it more and I feel like there won't be 409850756497087682765876873 people looking for the same job I am.

Everyone loves The Great Gatsby.
