Computer games???????

Are you familiar with Sierra computer games like Torin`s Passage, Dr. Brain, or Battle Beast? Do you know who Al Lowe is?



Well, if I wanted to create games like these and combine artistic design with intellectual puzzle-solving, then what career would that be? Graphic design? Computer software/video game design?



I want to do what Al Lowe did!!Computer games???????
You would be a software designer. I don't know about Al Lowe, but I have a cousin who's a software designer for special effects animation. His brother wrote what became the underwriting software for the mortgage company Diteck. They're both millionaires. My guess is you have high aptitude for a career like that, as I probably do. The job market for software designers isn't what it was in the latter 90's, but it doesn't have to be. I tried to follow in my cousin's footsteps and I enrolled in tech school, but some of the textbooks were written in special english by foreigners and that drove me nuts. Rather than trying to be "certified" in programming, I wish I had:



1) Stayed enrolled in the tech courses that were good, and



2) Dropped or taken the "pass final exam" option for the bad classes to get around the fluffed-up special-english text books and homework (I bought alternative books that were written for my learning style and studied them instead.)



3) Continued to pursue my biology degree or employment that I was already doing back in the 90's.



I did accomplish something that was very important to me though. I wrote my book! I know you don't want an autographed promo copy, so I won't push it at ya;-)
