re: Online College for a Degree in Game and Art Design

I hate to be the one to shite on dreams, but if you need to go to school to learn how to program video games or make art, you're already behind the curve.

There are people that learn this stuff as hobby work from a very early age and will simply have more experience in an already sparse job market. Things like programming, art, cooking etc. Are skills you can honestly learn as effectively on your own and school is just a waste of time and money.

If you want a degree, get one in something that is valued. I watched a documentary about valve and the people they hire for their programming and art departments have degrees in other shite like engineering, political science etc. They are hired because of how skilled they are, not because they got a degree in graphic design.
