I used to work for a technical school. People who wanted to be gamers would pursue a degree in computer programming. There was a lot of focus on programming for business. They'd say they weren't guaranteed to get a job with EA Sports to make the best games in the world. Some people even were equating it to being in the big leagues athletically. Now what I'm hearing is that if you know how to program for games, you will have a job for life. Are schools making a mistake by saying not to get too caught up in learning how to develop games?
