I really like my teachers a lot. They really care and they don't want you to fail. They are there if you need them. If you do fail something, you only have yourself to blame, because the teachers try to help you in every way possible.
Game Development
Put your passion for gaming to work
Everywhere you look today people of all ages are playing games – on their computers, cell phones and online. Last year alone, more than 8.5 million people subscribed to online role-playing games.
In fact, it is predicted that the game industry will out-produce all other entertainment media including movies and music. Global industry sales for console games are predicted to grow to $34.7 billion by 2012. In the United States, sales of all types of video and computer games will increase to $11.7 billion.
