I'm not sure where this should be and if it is in the wrong area hopefully it is moved.
I'm interested in becoming a Level Designer. I've been for some time now and right now I am in college. What I'm looking for is help with an assignment in an elective I'm taking called Student Success. This is a 3 part assignment and the 2nd part requires me to interview a person in the field I am interested in. I don't know anyone in the path I have chosen and I can do the interview over the internet. The project is due next week and I'd like to get this out of the way soon.
You need to be employed as a level designer. That is the only real requirement other then the willingness to answer questions.
Here are some of the questions:
1. Persons name, job title, place of employment, contact information (Phone Number OR email address). State the method of interview (In person, over the phone, over the internet, etc.) Personal question I know and I don't expect the telephone number only the email for my teach to contact you.
2. How did you decide on your career?
7. Does your career have a big impact (Negative/Positive) on your personal life?
10. How does someone advance in your career?
12. If you had to do it all over again, would you choose the same career?
Obviously some missing questions, but I didn't feel like typing them all out and I figured most people wouldn't read them anyway. Since I'm asking some personal questions I'll let you fire some back and answer some right now:
1. Why have you chosen to go after this career? To me this is getting the chance to design and build up your own world. Where your choices have a huge impact. I don't feel as if I have that big of an impact in the real World and I like the idea of creating a world from scratch. I also always have a ton of environmental ideas in my head, but since my hand was shaky when I was a kid I never developed my drawing skills.
2. Where do you live? Florida.
3. How old are you? 20.
I can't really think of anymore reasonable questions and I'm tired.
If you are interested shoot a PM at me and we can talk. Even if you aren't it would be refreshing to talk to someone in the my ideal career.
