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.
