CyberCannon | I am now looking at the game programming side, since I decided to switch my course to Computer engineering now. I am sure that the economy would change after I graduated and finished my army. ^^ Thanks for all the advices guys... But I am still open up for more advise on these industry ^^ | |

Don't really know if you are serious. I'm a hiring manager for games related projects and was myself a game developer who was mainly involved in server back-end and AI. For a good lead developer with 2 to 3 credited games of reasonable standard, the salary can hit lower range of 5 digits. However, most newbies start off as a junior programmer who get paid around $2K or there-about. A lot of low value jobs are also being outsourced to overseas. For graphic artist, let me just say that it is not easy to find work for games development company. A lot of modeling and design work is being outsourced to overseas, which is cheaper. The locals are mainly skilled artist who QCs the finished artwork and do some touch up and minor modification when requested. Not really for fresh graduates. The talented and highly specialized would have joined the animation industry which, I understand, is subsidized by the government. Without subsidies, I highly doubt these companies will still be staying in Singapore. Also, most of these companies will in-source a lot of their staff to Singapore, given that their salary is subsidized. Local hires generally do not get the same package as their own staff. Good Luck. |

The smart scholar-type students who have been "marketed" (euphemism) to take up life sciences in the past decade have no future in such factories. Many will end up in sales or unrelated industries. This story has a familiar ring - 2 decades ago, we had a "booming" semi-con industry. It also hired factory-worker employees, though at much higher remuneration level if you compare by relative purchasing power then & now. |

But of course, the big pie is overseas in countries where they are constantly dishing out console games, pc games and online games. and some of these companies will spend top dollars to get the best people to work for them... |

Personally, I'll recommend industrial design. I believe nafa/lasalle offers courses which would fit you. If you want to go into game industry, very least get a degree, and definitely no-no to distance learning degrees.
