Ive got a GED. The reason being because my education was really spotty as I moved around alot with family, and when I got back to the states I knew that I wasnt learning anything in school (I went from English 1 in a private school in Korea to English 4 in the states - thats how different the quality of education was), so I decided to take the GED and just improve on mapping as its what I wanted to do. I cant afford college (spent my fund on bills), but maybe one day ill go with the money I earn from working with IW. But Vivi's right, if youre good at what youre trying to get hired to do, they wont care what kind of education you have (thankfully :P).

I also seem to have a new custom title. Neat :)


No offense was meant to be made with that comment, but i was just curious to what college would support GOOD education in 3d design.

None taken. I hear Fullsail is good, but expensive.

I think with a thing like level design, the stuff you create outweighs your education... It's similar to how programmers are hired... Degrees and whatnot are nice - but if you can show that you are a capable programmer and have the knowledge to back you up - you'll be fine.
