Specialize your personal projects, sure, but don't short change your education.
Edit: After receiving a PM from a Digipen student in response to this thread, I feel I should clarify things a bit. My point is that there is a trade-off with your education. Either option, going to a strong game development school or a more traditional school, is perfectly valid for the end result of getting a job as a game developer. Just don't expect either to give you an "advantage" in securing a job, and also realize that there will be differences in your curriculum.
The important thing is focusing on getting a strong education and doing what game developers do - making games [wink]
That was a beautiful speech. lol But I get what your saying, I am not asking because I want to get the advantage in securing a job, i just don't want to get screwed over at a school that doesn't really teach you what you need. Almost happened to me.
