Getting a job as video game programmer

[hamid14]

Is it possible to get a job as a video game programmer in mississuaga with a degree in computer sciencs from university of toronto? Cause I applied to UofT in St. George for cs, because it has a major in game design. All of the other campuses do not have a major in game design for cs. So I'm wondering if its possible to get a job with just a cs degree and a different major. I am making a few web based games though for a portfolio.

Short -- yes.

Slightly longer -- find some actual job postings to make sure. I believe most will say something along the lines of "required: Bachelor of Computer Science or equivalent + years of experience". Though I might be thinking of dev positions instead of design, so check on your own. Either way, "years of experience" is important, so make sure to do that PYE.

yeah experience is required in all of them, well most of them. Thanks for the info, all I needed to know
