Thanks Sam! I think this advice will help people and those are some helpful links too. I myself have always wanted to get into the game design industry. I have my own games I've made and I have taken school classes and started teaching myself coding. I do see where you're coming from about how getting a degree is beneficial but I myself am not going to college and I have my many reasons. I think without a degree I can do fine and have planned how my future will be. I may not be going to college but that doesn't mean I don't suggest that other people should because I do think they should. It will really help a lot. You said to believe in yourself, well I believe I can still do it.
