I'm at DigiPen as we speak. Getting my ass kicked. hahaha However, I am making games. 3 1/2 years to go!
You believe I'm probably within 300 ft of Reggie on a regular basis? :P
Have you ever met Reggie?
No. But I haven't tried any infiltration yet.

I went to Digipen for a month last year before realizing it wasn't for me. Now I'm a Psych major finishing my second semester.
That's cool. Gotta know when it's not your thing!

I'm done with school.
"Oh Ian so you have a degree?"
No I'm just done with school. ;)
I do have a Computer Information Systems diploma (two year program). While in school I got my current job as a programmer. Since I was working I went to school part time so my two year program took three years. After I graduated I initially decided to try for my degree but was feeling burnt out from juggling work and school at the same time and after completing the semester I was on I decided to "take a break" from school for a bit to concentrate on my job which I was now working at full time. That break has become permanent. I now have a career in the very field I was going to school for and that was the whole point. I also now have enough relevant work experience that if I ever switched jobs my 8 years of work in the software industry would get me the job, not my education. So I have no regrets about effectively dropping out of college. Hell my original plan was to only get the two year diploma and only pressure from my parents made me consider going for a degree. In retrospect "taking a break" was just an excuse to keep my parents from getting pissed off. I honestly had no interest in going back.
I just hate school. I hate classes, I hate homework, I hate tests. I've always done well at school because I know the formula. I know how to work the system to get good grades. Studying and taking tests is a skill. In class participation is all about acting. Assignments and homework are all about bullsh!tting and knowing what the instructor wants to hear. But I find the whole thing excrutiatingly boring and most of what you "learn" is useless bullsh!t anyway which you immediately discover the second you're thrown into the real world. I did like college initially because of the atmosphere. I liked hanging out with my friends and such. But at that point I was just going to school. Once I had to juggle a career AND school it just ate up all my free time and my life was just stress and deadlines. It sucked.
I've always however seen school as merely a tool to get a career going. I never had any romanticized ideal of post-secondary education being anything but a business. They get your money, you get a line on your resume that helps you get a job. I've done that. I don't need to do that again. The most important things I've ever learned are from life experiences anyway.
I've grown uninterested in my current career but like where I work enough that if need be I can live with it until retirement. What I really want to do is make movies for a living or make music. Both are dream jobs that I'm making a serious effort for but will still require a fair amount of good luck to achieve. Neither career really would benefit from going back to school for.

I was the opposite I just didn't like living with other people and found the classes to be the part I missed most from college (at least some of them).

As long as you're with some interesting people its a good time. Living in college dorms and apartments is great in that most people are pretty social, its very easy to meet new people.
Then however, when you graduate and get a job, apartments in the "real world" are boring as all hell as some of your neighbors are in their 40's and have already given up on life. Finally, you get a house, and you're so grumpy you want nothing to do with the guy across the with a boat he never uses sitting in his driveway.
Just sayin.....

I'm still in school. I started late as hell though, because I just never got my life going till the past couple years. I finally settled on a 'biotech' career, where education=money, so I'll probably never stop attending some form of school. I'm working full-time also, just to have health insurance (USA! USA! USA!). Doing full-time work on top of school is a bitch. I don't have any time to play video games. But when I go to the ER, or have some kind of surgery, I'll only get raped half as hard.
