I was going through some of my RSS feeds from blogs that I follow and game across a link about Portable Python. While I was reading about Portable Python, I noticed a link for Firaxis Games. On the left side of their blog is a section about wanting a career in gaming. I started reading the page and found yet another link to a 2008 Career Guide by Game Developer Magazine. With a little more searching, I found a 2009 Career Guide which can be accessed here. It is 104 pages long and I have not read the entire guide, but for those of you interested in careers in game design, let me know what you think of the guide.
I read about 20 pages of it; it’s more designed for someone who’s already got a degree in video-game design, not so much for someone who’s only recently started learning how to build games.

On that note, at the beginning they say that it’s annual, and that THIS one focuses on getting into a company. Maybe the one from last year would be better?
