Do you think that's an achievable goal for yourself? Do you think you'd be able to make "A LIVING" at something like that? Shouldn't you be concentrating on something more "concrete"? Something more grounded in the "real world". Maybe you should start out by persuing a career in video game development. You could be a game "tester" while you're getting your computer programming degree. While you're "testing" the games you could use your connections to persue your dream of being a professional video game player.

I graduated from Indiana University Bloomington with a degree in Instructional Systems Technology and we studied video games and their impact on children and young adults.  One the major video game manufactures (Lucas Arts) creates several educational video games.  Many of their games may not appear to be educational but researchers have said many of their Star Wars games are beneficial to hand-eye coordination, problem solving, and team work.  \n\nYou can view the Lucas Arts web site at http://www.lucasarts.com.

It usually helps if you go to a college or university that has a computer studies department and/or a fine arts department that has a computer graphic design sub-department. There's one here in Montreal at Concordia University. BTW, some of the big software companies have offices or head offices here and there's several major game design companies based here.

I doubt if any of them do.\n\nBut you are asking the wrong question.  Your question should be "What colleges in California (or elsewhere) offer a major that is appropriate for someone who wants to design video games?"\n\nThe answer to that question is:\n\n1.  Berkeley\n2.  Cal Tech\n3.  Stanford

Video game design is more likely to be taught at a technical school than a traditional college.  You might even be able to take a summer course or two to get started with some of the main programs used to create games. Or offer to work as an intern for a game design firm (be prepared to make $0) However, I'd suggest that a good game designer have background in some, if not all, of the following areas which would be part of a traditional liberal arts curriculum:  history (not just U.S.), art history, literature, music, math and logic.  Good luck!
