- Getting a job programming video games is rather easy, actually. The hard part
- is finding a company with an opening.
-
- Case in point:
- I have the C.H.S.P.E. ( High-School diploma-by-test ) and no college to my
- name. I got my job programming video games because I'm a good programmer, and
- I got lucky (found a company that was hiring).
-
- There are indeed a lot of programmers that work on a contract basis, but
- that's not bad. In fact, you can make MORE money doing that, than working at
- the office in many cases.
-
- As far as getting names of companies, try the white or yellow pages.
