Getting a job programming video games is rather easy, actually. The hard part is finding a company with an opening. Case in point: I have the C.H.S.P.E. ( High-School diploma-by-test ) and no college to my name. I got my job programming video games because I'm a good programmer, and I got lucky (found a company that was hiring). There are indeed a lot of programmers that work on a contract basis, but that's not bad. In fact, you can make MORE money doing that, than working at the office in many cases. As far as getting names of companies, try the white or yellow pages. -Tom Schenck
