jobs related to video gaming;
:D
1. Digital Graphic Artist and Animators
These people create the scenes, levels, and worlds the player will be able to play on.
"Animators and digital graphic artists can earn a salary upwards of $60,000, depending on talent and experience. With training from a premier graphic arts school, you can become a digital graphic artist or animator at a respected video game studio like Bungie."
2. Programmers and Developers
Programmers and Developers code the games (like making characters move properly, etc) , to ensure that everything runs smoothly and without bugs.
"A year or two of experience can help a programmer command a $70,000 salary. Six years of experience can bump that number to $86,200. Most game developers have at least a bachelor's degree in computer programming."
3. Writers
Haha, self-explanatory really. These people write up the storyline, the thing that keeps you going in the game to find out just what happens in the end. :)
(Oh, but they can also create the technical documentation, make user manuals, and post weekly updates)
4. Producers
"Management teams track video game development schedules from initial funding to the day when the return on investment finally justifies a game's creation."
"Six years of experience can allow a producer to command an average of $82,715 per year. Producers are often management experts or video game designers who moved up the ranks."
5. Sales and Marketing
I'm thinking these are the people who take care of the sales and ensures there players are happy. I guess they can also kind of be like public relations, presenting their games at conventions like E3.
"For the business-minded gamer, a marketing degree can help launch your career in entertainment marketing."
Hmm, the ones that interest me the most would be the 1st and 3rd ones, even though I'm not too into the video-game-creation-jobs (or maybe it's just that I don't want a hobby of mine become a job. Kinda kills the whole hobby thing, huh? Except video gaming isn't exactly a main hobby of mine...).
Wellll, hope this helped someone out there in choosing their jobbbb~ :)
