Moving on

[Steppenwolf]

being at the army teaches you a lot. you need to organize your self, force your self to do much stronger sit-ups, impress people that know nothing better than the usual internet guy and the list goes on. imo joining the army is something that trains you mentally for your life and gives you a wide overview about cleaning disciplines.

have fun with being a soldier!

< If he would have joined the army it would read like this.

[Sentura]

yeah because the army is the number one place to learn proper grammar and punctuation... :roll:

[Mazy]

Yeah, I already told you that I admire this decision mainly because I wish I could pull myself together and get some more concrete education as well. Just so hard when you got your dream job and a great place to work already, and it still feels too recent that I've been in school (Which is like, 5 years ago.....D: ).

Best of luck dude, maybe you'll return one day with your newly gained alien knowledge and turn IO upside down

iI's fine in my opinion if you want to leave your current profession to pursue another, it would indeed be crazy to leave a game job for education if your goal was to rejoin it with some new skills, when you consider all the people coming out of uni (with a big dept to pay) looking for jobs and they can't get them for lack of real experience.

That being said, game development is just another job, sure it's quite a good one but an till you've done some retail game work at a studio it's very hard to see the reality of it.

Why can't you work and study at the same time? I used to have a full time job (8 hours a day + 2 hours lunchtime = 10 hours in total) but I still went to college at night It's not THAT punishing if you have flexible working hours (I hadn't though). You can easily make through it if you really inclined.

[ShaDoW]

Yeah, Minotauro made a good point.

I did the same thing, worked a full time job and still went on to get an education at the same time.

While I didn't have flexible hours, both my work and education were design oriented so I could do stuff at work for school giving me more free time where I needed it.

It sounds painful but its really not that bad once you get into it.

Regardless, best of luck with your endeavors.

cause a lot of game jobs demand overtime at some point which leaves not much space for studying... and it is a fucking stressful job... i couldnt imagine studying on top of working my regular days... i'd go crazy

[Bic-B@ll]

i think its a real classy move. theres not a whole lot of info on the major you're pursuing but from what i can tell it looks real interesting.
