For the aspiring wondering about work. There are lots and lots of very small game studios (4-16 people). That's likely where you'll end up coming out of school. It's loads of fun, but don't be expecting to work on any crazy AAA titles coming out by BioWare or Blizzard right out of the gate. In my experience, these studios tend to really only exist in metropolitan type areas, so be expecting to move to a large city if you don't already live in one.
