I remember being told that when applying for a job, experience matters more. But at this point, I can't even tell if that's correct anymore since people are constantly bringing other factors into the mix

Still think a music degree for game design is a waste of money. Just build a portfolio and present it to smaller companies

Hell nearly all the T and M portion would be better set as apprenticeship than degree

@Fitzydog True STEM fields require actual understanding

You wont get a job. Same with Coder. That first job always wants a degree for entry level

I'm doing that at the same time, a reason why I'm attending this course is due to the opportunities that are available with the course such as recording in various studios, meeting prominent and old Musicians and having the chance to learn from them

a degree for eating shit is still a degree

@Goblin_Slayer_Floki I don't believe you lol

might as well build a portfolio of eating shit

I'm fairly certain I saw a modern art project somewhere like that

Then dont. But try to build a portfolio an go to design company with no work or degree

they will go fpr the degree every time. Until you have had your entry level job

That's how most of silicon valley works.

Thats how it USED to work

Until the field was flooded

Even more reason to stay the fuck away

Why run in the face of adversity?

it has to be expected that every game company in the west would be cucked by feminism..

@Tens̶u̶s̶h̶i̶ Because if you're worried about your knowledge level, you're not good enough.

Not everyone is happy with a *job* some people have dreams

That's why I want to work in the Japanese industry

japanese will follow

all those hentai games will dissapear

The japanese industry is far harder to get in/stay in. But less SJW drama

white people wont be allowed in japan soon if it was up to the japanese

white refugees fleeing sjwism

That's why I want to work hard at it Inquisitor

Yea the degree will be needed for that foot in the door

"I'm a white kid from the UK who doesn't have self-achieved skills in the field I want to enter, so I'm going to get a degree and go work with masters in Japan"

lol good luck.

I've been studying and using multiple DAW's since I was 14, I'm currently 21

@Tens̶u̶s̶h̶i̶ if you are white than good luck cause you wont succeed at this day and age if you arent fast enough until too many game developers leave their fkg jobs to go to japan

I want to learn things that I may not know

You know people with self achieved skills still go to college for degrees and certs fool

@Tens̶u̶s̶h̶i̶ College won't teach you those things.

College will get you certified in systems and does tech some things you may not know

that might not even been enough

have you made a game when you were like 14

otherwise why would stem or any college exist?

Music Hannibal

No I haven't, that's something that I'm somewhat worried about as well Hannibal

@Goblin_Slayer_Floki Colleges don't teach you anything. They test your knowledge and hand out credit.
