Nice point. By next year I will try my hand on game programming full time. Still thinking to go with either Ligdx framework or Unity 3D |

Javanian: It should be consider a con because if you have the same skills with someone that does not have a BSc in computer you have an advantage with your added BSc degree |

nollyj: The chances of someone without a B.SC in Computer Science/Software Engineering or in any other related discipline having the same skill set as one that has such a degree is very low. Companies that ask for a B.SC know exactly what they are doing and why they asked for one. 1 Like |

Javanian: Why? |
Re: Game Programming - Pros And Cons by Javanian: 4:07pm On Sep 24, 2014 |
nollyj: Maybe you should check the Computer science syllabus of any University. You might understand better why an employee would prefer one with a degree. Here is one http://www.registrar.fas.harvard.edu/courses-exams/courses-instruction/computer-science |

It seems I am missing something from your point. |

nollyj: It seems I am missing something from your point. It's simple, those with degrees are more likely to be better than those without. It is not always the case, but it is the case most of the time. |

Javanian: That was the point I was trying to make. |

Game programming could be considered as the most difficult kind of programming a programmer can ever come across. So for those hoping to go for that sector, it could be a pain in the neck especially in nigeria(because of lack of electric power, motivation, fund); it is only for the those who can endure. |
