[macian1 at yahoo.com]

What would it take for someone like me in the military working on my ba in game design to get some experience somewhere?

Also, if you know someone who is interested to get back into the
industry, there's a great position for a Game Programmer at Rock Star
Games' San Diego location that may include three months of training in
Oxford, England. They would definitely be interested in someone with
academic experience.

The position isn't widely advertised, so if you know someone who may be
interested, have them contact Adam Glogower at Rock Star Games.

I suggest that the SIGGRAPH interest group of ACM is an excellent place
to
look.  This group has a specific list for jobs in the games industry, as
well as academia (siggraph_careers at siggraph.org).  You would probably
reach
folks who may have both industry and academic experience, as well as
more
traditional academics with the skills you want who are interested in the
field.

Cheers,

Justine
