Are you sitting at home playing games? Have you thought about how fun it would be to make that great game you are playing? Do you want a job that you will love and never want to give up? If you have answered “Yes!” to all three questions than maybe you should look into a degree in game design. I know, you’re saying to yourself, “Who offers a game design degree in Baltimore, MD? Does the video game industry pay well? If I do not get a job right out of school, can my skills be used outside the industry? Are there jobs near my home in Maryland?” The answers to all of these questions may surprise you. With a little research, you can start your path to a degree in game design.
