For some people, it is the dream to work within the gaming industry. But there are steps you need to take to be able to gain this employment.

Firstly, you need to think about what area of the gaming industry you wish to work within. There are many different sectors you can work within from game design, game development, game testing and more. Once you have decided upon this, you will be able to fully research the route you need to take.

Most jobs within the gaming development industry will require you to have a degree within the sector to gain employment. It is good to gain a degree on a similar course to what you wish to do outside of education. Whilst you are in education, you are likely to go on placement in workplaces. By making connections with your placement workplaces, you may make it easier for you to gain employment within their business.
