I would prefer a job as that means I won't get into any more debt and I would'nt have to sit any more exams. The course I'm on is not as much about the 'science' of cumputing as I would have liked it to be, hence if I don't get a job I'd be doing a Computing Science degree. My current course if called Computing (Games Development) - notice the brackets? These make a bigger difference to the course content than you'd think. I'm basically worried that I have wasted 2 years on a worthless qualification. I'm looking for advice: Has anyone else felt the same way (about wasting time on a crap qualification)? Does anyone know a development studio willing to take on a determined, hard working good all rounder? Or should I take a year out to build up a portfolio of work, possibly a demo that will help me get employed? Thanks all, Andy.
