I've been staring at the career post I made ages ago that a certain fantastic person turned into it's own thread [arpgmaker.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=77553] and now I'm considering making a larger thread, stickied at the top of the Game Development forum, where career requisites and game job hunting can be discussed.
My idea in it's current form would consist of a single thread with the first post having a small index page where you can scan if your job idea is mentioned (Eg; Art, programmer, designerlol) and then you scroll down to the section and it lists suggested degree courses, areas of a portfolio to work on, job search websites or articles about the specific job.
After that, the rest of the thread would become a "game job discussion" like pwoym but job oriented, so people would ask where to begin with job X and if it's not listed, then we can all do some research, edit the first post and shove job X into it, if someone here who has job X wants to give advice then they can, etc, etc.
So that's my idea.
Anyone want to add to this?
