It isn't exactly a new job... You apply like you would any other job ;


Yes. I never said it was a new job.
Thanks for the link -- it was interesting to read what that company looks for.
They don't say what the salary is, of course, and it looks like that's a position in which they want the employee sitting at the office, not at home.

That company lists the job as a customer support role. And I was wrong that the job is not mentioned by the 2011 salary survey. It is mentioned (http://www.gamecareerguide.com/features/980/game_developer_salary_survey_2011.php?page=4) but that job's salary is not explicitly given.

Aww that sucks.. Looks like I have no choice but indie games.

Say, do you think it will be possible to find a at-home work position, even if it's something like being a GM (Game Master) in a smaller company game? I mean, I hear you talk of wages lots, and I hear lots of other people talk of wages; but in my situation (the boat scenario), I simply could live quite happily at minimum wage (10.25 in my country) given that i can have the flexibility I want. Though, fortunately, I do not think most of the job posiitons are minimum wage; I think they are above, which works in my favour.

I really like the game industry, even though I may be unknowledgeable about the industry, I would really love to get a place in it in my situation; even if the job is just at minimum wage or near that, even if the job requires over 40 hrs a week, and I'll do just about anything in the industry. Is there really no place for me whatsoever?

Recieving a defintive answer could be nice so that I have a clear idea of what my options are, but if there is a place for me somewhere someplace, I'd love to know so that I can cater my education towards that position (should I decide plan B)

I thought I'd stated a definitive answer as regards to the work-from-home question.
As for types of jobs, and what education to get, please read the FAQs.

Okay, thank you, good to know, looks like I'll have to look into a different area. Thanks for all the help!
