I told my kid that if she wanted to go to school for cooking or video game design I'd cut her hands off.

I had this discussion with my cousin, whose son wants to get into video game design. I pointed out that of the eight or so engines out there, six of them are available for download for free and at least four of them have exemplar games ready for you to compile.

I'd be fine if she wanted to do either but there is no way I'd pay for her to go to school to learn either. Make a game that is fun and has a good story with the tools available. Get a job at a dope restaurant and learn everything you can. Going to school for these things is like burning money.
