Getting a job in the industry for the first time

Freeride Designs · 2000-09-11T09:49:36

Hi, I''m 18 and just finished my A-levels (UK) and I am now looking to get a games programming job, I''m just wondering do you think it is enough for me to send a demo to companies to get a job, or would I be better to go to University before trying to get a job. I had been planning to go to uni, but now I feel I would rather just go and get a job. I have a fair bit of games programming experience, heres a screenshot of a game I''m currently working on. So do you think that I would be able to get the same sort of career without going to uni? How much harder will it be to get a job without going to uni??? Thanks in advance ----------------Freeride Designs----------------

One other reason to go to Uni over straight into the business. OK, you have to work to get through Uni but its the social aspect you get whilst there. Three years of fun fun fun then the rest of you life working
