I'm trying to pick a course for my university choices. I've been a keen video game player practically all my life, however.. I'm terrible at all things involving programming languages. I've tried to learn C/C++ in my spare time but I just can't take it on. Can anyone else recommend some jobs I might be interested in and/or degrees I could take that would qualify me to be involved in the industry.
Originally I considered an english/creative writing course to become a video games journalist but I think that it would be a bit of a long shot getting hired as a critic in that subject. So any other suggestions or advice would be great?
What video game industry jobs are there that don't require a computer science degree?
As another poster said, you can certainly do art, if you have talents in that area. But to be involved in the industry, you don't have to have a job that's directly related to the games. Think about it - these companies are *companies*. Not only do they hire game designers, but they also need everyone else that goes into a functioning company: Human Resources, accounting, marketing, finance, law (esp. intellectual property), etc. You could actually major in anything you want, and do an internship for a games company, and when you graduate, work in that industry. So that's another option for you.
Go to the website for your favourite game design company. Click on their "about us" or "careers" link, and read through the various positions they're looking for. Those may give you some ideas.
Reply:If you're good at art, you could always get into that sort of field. Digital Animation for example, where you can go into more general paths such as texture artist, lighting artist, environment modeler... among many others with that one degree. But you do have to be good at art to get into a course like that.
