Considering that if I get 20 credits in all modules then I will have a bachellors

I've been a musician since I was 7 and play at a Grade 8 music level

In multiple brass instruments

So I'm alright on the music theory front

@Goblin_Slayer_Floki If he was great at it, he would already be an expert without college. That's the difference between "getting in the door", and being the one selected

Riiight

I do agree with a lot of Infringed's points

he is right though wether you like it or not

it aint easy

You realize 70% of Stem students arnt *masters of the subject* that is a fallacy

He is right, but that isn't going to mean that I will let it hold me back from doing my best and hardest at this

Always have a fallback

@Goblin_Slayer_Floki We're talking about a competitive field like Game Music.

I've been taught that as well, always have a fallback in the music industry

@Goblin_Slayer_Floki what you dont seem to understand is that Most STEM like Archiutectural engineering is different in level of competence compared to something in the gaming industry

That's why I'm building connections so if I don't have work I can contact one so I can be a sound engineer at a gig or tour with bands

not many schools for gaming industry with music

Stuff that I've done previously

I get that

its a far more competitive and difficult thing to succeed in gaming

I agree

My issue is saying going for a degree without entering with *mastery* beforehand is ending in failure

Extremely difficult

@Goblin_Slayer_Floki Look at these guys who do amazing work for community mods like Skyrim, and are still not even in the industry.

And they cant get in without an industry job/degree

todd howard did

I disagree with the mastery point, but I agree with the industry/degree part

or didnt he

And also. Most gaming music isnt internal. They are brought in for the projects from other companies

Yep

There's a lot of sound designers who are freelance

old days used to be simpler

Same companies grabbed for tv, movies, games, cartoons and such

If I remember correctly, isn't gaming one of the largest in the entertainment industry currently?

It's large but I don't think it's the largest

idk about that. It generates the most revenue

I know that it's currently beating the TV industry

Definitely not the largest

Depends if you count low budget indy

it's not all that big
