Hmm tough one this, whats the main difference between companies wanting people who have 3 years back ground in the nessary programs etc or a liberal art degree?
Ok well in my case im not the latter, its the former. The amount of companies ive seen wanting people with the minium of 3 years experiance or more is alot. Ive hardly come across any companies wanting just a degree in arts. However i think is done to the quality of the art that is sumbited by a student and also the mood in which the employers are in and the fact of what art the student is into that fits with their critera within the games company.
To be honest its a hard call to make whos best at the end of the day. For example Ben Mathis who is a very talented artist and who recently made an appareance at my university (stay for a week checking out our work and set us a task to do) is a top game designer. He currently works for CCP who produce Eve-Online MMO (which im a massive fan of), hes also helped produce the well known tony hawks series and a mass load of other games we have all played in the past. So would you say "this guys gotta have a degree in some sort of art?". Well no he hasnt, which was a big shock to me, he wasnt the student type he basically worked at what he loved and did best. So he didnt need a degree in whatever to be able to land him the job he has today.
