I considered it at one point, here is the bad news:

Once you graduate, to be successful, you pretty much need to move to California to get a foot in the door of the business, then ship out where-ever they send you.

Game design or PR involves a lot of moving and shaking, and its just not a stable enough career choice for my liking.

Not true. California does have the most places to go but there are studios all over the place. I managed to stay in Dallas area and Texas is actually the second biggest game state. Austin is quickly becoming a very large gaming city.

Yeah, Texas is great. Isn't Retro studios outta Texas?

 

Not to fanboy out here, but I bet Texas is Miyamoto's most visited American state.

Yup, Retro is in Austin and even know a few people there.

If they would have been hiring while I was looking I probably could have gotten a job there but probably wouldn't have taken it just because I didn't want to leave the Dallas area.

And hooray for bear cookies. Bears beat Battlestar Galactica.
