On October 28, 2011 the media arts/communication students went to a trip to Roy Thompson Hall for the career mash presentation. Before the trip I wasn't planning to go into a job that had to do with tech. The presentation was very interesting but didn't change my mind about anything.
I think I'm more of a problem-solver. I like to help people with problems with software, and answering questions with my own knowledge. To become a problem-solver you have to take specialized community college programs, training programs for tech companies, and also going to private tech colleges and schools. Problem solvers are relied on deeply by people, they don't get very famous but they can be very helpful. The cool thing with jobs with problem solving is that you can mash it up with audio/video technologies which I am very interested in.
One job that goes with problem solving is, a video game tester. For this job, there is no specific education to becoming a video game tester but it is a good thing to have DES. Another interesting job in mind is becoming a technical director for video games. To have this job you have to have a Bachelor's degree in computer engineering, art history or related disciplines and also have a college diploma in technical integration of multimedia, 3D animation or related disciplines. This job puts the video game all together with the characters movements. For both jobs you have to have really good skills in teamwork and in software.
The trip to Roy Thompson Hall was very interesting and somewhat made me think of a backup plan for my career in the future.
