I am planning the next few years of my life as my second course in college is approaching.
After I have finished this two year course I will have the opportunity to take a foundation degree course in games technologies. Foundation degree counts as two years towards my final honors degree.
So if all goes to plan I could end up having a full honors degree in gaming.

However, this is not my only option. I can also go down the internet, system, business technologies route. Gaming appeals to me more.

I was wondering if any of you have any experience with the gaming industry. What sort of job opportunities could it give me? Is it worth the effort? Should I consider something else?

It is best to mention that I am living in the UK. But if a decent job requires me to cross the pond then I will consider.
