However, I plan to join the Marine Corps as an officer after college. I may make that my career (depending on how much I like it) which means I couldn't really work as a professional game programmer. But, if the Marines isn't really my thing, then I'll just wait until my contract is served, and then find a job somewhere else as a programmer :)
After college? Im not sure how it all works in the Marines, but my brother is in the Forces, and after he is done, he gets his college payed for by the government for serving. Might want to look into that. Do college for free after serving???
And as far as doing this kind of stuff for a living, I might actually be doing some work for a game company here in town. They need a flash guy, so they came to me. Had an interview a week ago. Wont be doing any work for them for another few weeks though.
And the guys who im working for next month came from BioWare, which is only a 4 hour drive from where i live. So, I'm getting my connections.
