i'm interested in pursuing a career in video game journalism. So naturally i wonder if it will bring home the bacon or not. thanks!


Answer
It will bring you ENOUGH home, but the main addvaqntages of VGJ (video game journalism) is all the advantages and priveleges which come with it.

You will not have to pay even half as much for video games and consoles - so you will save lots and lots of cash in this way.

Also you will be able to travel alot and go to lots of conventions and things all for free.

The main thing with vgj is how you SAVE money. of course you earn but only enough to keep you 'comfortable', but the point is is that the job isnt about the money its about doing what you love for free.

What sort of careers are there involving video games?

Q. I want to work with video games but I am in my third year of a degree in English Literature. I REALLY want to work with gamesss! Do you think I should email some games companies and ask what sort of roles they have? I'd love to help create them but maybe video game journalism would be cool too.. but isn't that a bit of a hard niche to get into? Please give me some ideas of what I could.


Answer
Video games have hundreds of things they need done. Ranging from coming up with ideas for games to writing code to finding the right software to use, not to mention the dozens of different audio jobs. Game developers also need as many computer engineers and animation experts to make their games more realistic.

You'll find it hard not to find a job, you just have to have the right skills, so go to college and do well.

Hope this helped!

Regards,
Dylan.
