What Is the Career Outlook for Video Game Design Degree Students?
Video game sales have gone through the roof in recent years, and even as the economy as a whole has slowed, game sales haven’t. As games become more and more a part of everyday life and entertainment for millions of people around the world, more qualified graduates will be needed to design and build them and the market for job opportunities looks to be holding steady. What graduates can expect to make with a video game design degree will depend on the type of career they choose to pursue. Game programmers make on average $85,000 a year, animators and designers $69,000 and producers $82,000. Of course, starting salaries could be considerably lower or higher depending on your level of education and where you live.
