Quite cool, though I'm going to (hopefully) join the industry through another angle.

Computer Engineering ftw.

 

Unless your schools CE program is just a CS degree, CE isn't the way to go.  All the CE stuff you learn that you wouldn't learn with a CS degree would be near worthless and you'll miss many important things that you would get with a CS degree (assuming you're going into programming of course).

If I was going into programming I would have done CS =P. Nah, I'm interested in going into the hardware side, for which CE should be useful.

 

But the industry doesn't need hardware people, not even for engine stuff.  :-/

The best you could really hope for is be their tech support guy (which is a fun job in itself, at a game studio at least) if you want to do hardware at a studio.

I was actually most keen to be involved in the hardware divisions at one of the big three.
