Alright im just gonna jump right into it. I went to college for a year and when the time came to pick a major i said fuck it and bailed. Now ive had a year to actually sit down and think of what i want to do and ive come to the conclusion that making video games would be a heck of a lot of fun (although more than likely tedious work)

I hated visualbasics in high school, but it was my freshman year so maybe it was because i was just immature with hormones going wild...then again i cant sit still and work on something without getting distracted, unless im being watched then im all like "oh shiz better get this done" alright thats besides the point! i cant draw anything more than stick figures, but oddly i can draw something fairly decent if im looking at it (but when it comes to trying to draw something from my imagination i can not) i have, or so i think, great story ideas but alas i am not too good on writing (infact i hate writing anything, right now im even hating myself for typing this stupid thread up) and of course im good at playing games...

So here i am now making this thread asking you, anyone who has experience in going to a school or whatever for gaming, to give me advice. im looking for what school should i go to, what i should do to prepare, just anything that can help me really.

I know it's not what you probably want to hear.

Get a degree in computer science, game programming (if it's offered), software engineering or computer animation from a real college. Do not go to an overpriced bull shit school.

I live right next to Full Sail in Orlando and the people who go there do not generally find work, some do but probably would have found work with out a degree because they are that talented or they had another degree. From talking to them it seems the DeVry's and OnlineU's are just as bull shitty.

Also make a game.

Edit: BTW, those schools advertise 99% employment, they neglect to mention that they either have unrelated jobs or work as testers and struggle to pay off the $50-70k debt.

 this is exactly what im looking for, so devry a no go for me then.

Of course, I am only speaking on hear-say; but between my neighbors telling me this plus my own experience hiring people in business I don't think many will disagree unless they are currently enrolled and delusional.
