Thanks for the information. I think Full Sail would be good for me except for the fact I can''t go without work for that long. I know I could make the most of it. I work hard and learn fast. Self-teaching myself game programming is tortuously slow when I can only manage it in my (very rare) spare time. I wouldn''t be betting my familiy''s future on it as I can always fall back on my current career if a job failed to materialize. I make good money and I''m not looking to get rich in game development. In fact I am certain I''d make less money in game development than I currently do (unless I became very good, or very lucky). I just want to make games. The only reason I want to do it professionally rather than as a side job or hobby is that I want to concentrate on games, and not be distracted having to keep up with a completely different career. I want to be as good as possible at it.
spg,
I think I mentioned that getting a CS degree the conventional way isn''t really practical for me, since that would involve an even bigger expenditure of time than Full Sail. haro had some interesting ideas however.
