I'd like to go in game development. However, I'm also thinking about some more adventurous things (working with big machines and stuff, or doing techincal stuff for the navy, or go filming things out and about, or whatever). In any case it'll be something technical

anyway, right now i'm studying 3d-design at a private school in Norway, so hopefully i'll be pumping out stuff related to that within a year or two. games or 3d generally is interesting, so we'll see what i focus on in the coming time.

But I'm the sort of person to be sick of it after 3/4 years of university and end up doing something different entirely. I'm starting to not like sitting in front of a computer so much every day.

my feelings tooI'm starting to not like sitting in front of a computer so much every day.
i'm also entirely not interested in business (administration) stuff, which is the direction in which many software programmers go
maybe i'll crack in a year and decide to become a treasure hunter or spy

- first, to put the other questions in perspective, where do you work? big/small company, small/large games?
- what's the work environment like?
- do you sit at your pc all day doing the same stuff or is it a varied job?
- is your work much appreciated, or are you just always not doing exactly what the designers want?
- how much influence do you have?

I work for a fairly new, small company. I'm currently working on a prototype for an investment pitch, but I can't really say more than that at the moment. We're not actually developing a game per se.
- what's the work environment like?
Very friendly, very relaxed, none of this suited-and-booted stupidity that you'd be forced to suffer in any other office job. The office itself is pretty nice, very open plan. You get to know people quite quickly. Heck, there's even a ping pong table in the middle of the room.
- do you sit at your pc all day doing the same stuff or is it a varied job?
Being the one who's most familiar with the technology we're using, I'm dealing with most aspects of the programming of the project, from the ground up. Programming doesn't tend to be particularly varied anyway; it's just solving one set of problems after another.
- is your work much appreciated, or are you just always not doing exactly what the designers want?
I have a fairly solid design specification that I'm supposed to be following, so I stick to that. It's progress and effort that's appreciated the most
- how much influence do you have?
A fair bit in terms of the prototype - going back to familiarity with the technology again, I tend to have a better idea of what can and can't be done

Corrupt program now requires constant reboots and does not function at all in majority of instances. Designed with a web browser component to replace AOL, it has exceeded our expectations by being more crashy and unreliable and with worse tech support. We didn't think it was physically possible! A general product recall is advised; when it does function it seems to require background processes Girl 0.1Beta to stave off further crashes. Will someone PLEASE remove that code, and insert Backbone 1.9 in its place? That's assuming we even bother to continue this prog.
