What can an Asian Studies major do as their career? Can they get into a video game company somehow?

best gaming computer ever 2011 image

I would love to work with a video game company, its been my dream since I was young. I did NOT want to design the games however, so nothing involving computer science. I also cannot draw so character design was out (although I enjoy it) I know there are many other things involved, business wise, with a game company that maybe an Asian Studies major can get into.

My question is, what can I do? Also, if not work for a game company, what else?

Answer
Before the early 20th Century, college wasnât meant to lead to a specific job but for personal enrichment. Turning you into a critical thinker for a career in public administration, the clergy or business where you would learn on the job

Since the 1940âs perception of a higher education changed & is now expected to lead to a career

The following are considered âpersonal enrichment degrees:
Anthropology
Archeology
Art
Art History
Creative Writing
Classics
English
Film
General Studies
History
Humanities
Interdisciplinary studies
Journalism
Language & Culture
Liberal Arts
Liberal Studies
Literature
Political Science
A language
Media
Music History
Paleontology
Photography
Philosophy
Religious Studies
Sociology
âAnythingâ Studies

There are far more grads than jobs in these

You can have a good life with one of these degrees but the job market does not value them highly

This is not to say you will not get a job but odds are that your job will not be related to your degree & may not pay as well as some other majors

Psychology requires a PhD in order to do well

Iâm not saying we should all be engineers, economists or doctors. But society is voting that way with its money

With a degree in the above & a GPA over 3.0 you can:

1. Get into law school. However law schools today graduate far more lawyers than needed

2. Go to grad school in a different field. Hopefully one without too many prerequisites you donât have. Consider a masters in Technology Management. You need essentially no sciences prerequisites

3. Go to grad school in the same field & earn a PhD so you can become a college professor. However, there are far more PhD grads in some fields like Philosophy than there ever will be any kind of faculty positions

Or with a lower GPA

4. Take a K-12 teaching qualification, which is usually 2 more years, so you can teach your subject at a public school

5. Look for a job in fields where they want you to have a degree, any degree. Where they want the degree because they want people who have proven they can stick with something difficult. There are more jobs like this than you may think

6. If you join the military you are more likely to enter as an officer instead of enlisted personnel

If your GPA is 3.0+ a graduate degree is more valuable than a 2nd major

What is an English major supposed to do after college?

This link considers certain degrees useless as the number of jobs that will be created in the field up to 2018 is less than the number of graduates in one year in that major

Here is a listing of the average starting & mid-career salaries for most 4 year majors. Note that these stats only apply to people who actually got a job in their field. Many graduates in the lower half of the list never get a job in their field & are not counted.

The higher they pay, the harder the major & generally the more math they require. Just be aware that high pay does not mean high demand.

whats the most graphically intensive game as of may 5th 2011?

Harps

I want to push my computer to the max , which game requires the most juice?

Answer
Just graphically, I would have to say Crysis 2 on ultra-high quality. The original Crysis game brought computers at that time to their knees. Though Crysis 2 toned it down a bit, the visual detail is still very high on the game. If you aren't bugged out by foreign games, the Japanese game Yatamako Ishiboa 2 will really test your PC. As of 5/5/11, I believe it is the most graphically intense game ever.
The game is a FPS with real time bullet movement and such. That means when bullets move, you can actually see them, though they will whiz by really fast. And when you get shot in the head, you can see the bullet getting closer and closer until it pops you right in the face. That's just one of the features that makes the game so graphically intense.
