For those of you who work state what you do for a living. If your a college student tell us what your major is or will be.

I'll be going into college this October and my major is Computer Graphic Arts.

That a hot job market these days...especially if you go into gaming. Keep in mind, CGA is also extremely competitive. My best advice to you is...learn to sell yourself! No matter how good or talented you are...if you can't sell yourself or convince others how good you really are...then talent if for not. Keep this in mind as well, potential employers only want to know how much money you can make them. Good luck with your major! BTW, I was in the graphic arts industry, speciallizing in publications.

I can't spell either.

Gaming is the plan. Unfortunatly we lack the money to start the company right away and the sheet of paper saying that you were trained. Therefore it's being put off until we get the money to start working for ourselves.

Only a suggestion, something to think about. Working for someone else, even for a year, will give you some business sense. Plus, you'll receive benefits, profit sharing, health insurance, etc. About starting your own business, never use your own money! Prepare a business plan and take it to a bank for a business loan. Remember, gaming is a huge, highly competitve business. Just my two-cents. Humm, maybe we should get back to belly talk...chuckle.

I'm a construction design engineer. Altough I specialise in specialist building entrances, sounds boring, but I enjoy it, every job is very different from the last and I get to travel quite frequently and the pay is good too! As for college I studied mathematics with memory capacity enhancement, after that I did theology and now I'm doing accountancy. Why I chose these I don't know, but I just like going to university and I balance this part time around my career, family drinkin and eatin.

Bellywish, thanks for the advice. I will be working for someone after college for a few years. I'll use the information on the buisness loan too. I'm taking buisness classes as well.
