    Definatley go for it. Yes game programming can be outsource to other countries but with that game designing knowledge you can do so much more. I started with a basic knowledge of programming, and turned that into designing programs for PC. But i didn't feel that 3D rendering and whatnot was the path for me. So i decided to head towards an IT field with a concentration in Networking. I can't tell you how much of the knowledge you get from Video game design is used in IT networking. The best part being that starting and designing networks can't be out sourced. So again i reiterate as everyone on the topic has said GO FOR IT!!! btw your english is impecable.

    Thanks a lot!
    So I should go into 3d and 2d designing, and later on I can go other ways, right? :D
    You guys really inspired me to do this, and what I think I'm going to like the most is that you can work in a team.
    So I'm going to follow video tutorials, and this will (which I hope) surely help me!

    Good luck, sir! You have a mature and realistic outlook for someone so young, so good on you!

    Your English is also better than some native speakers twice your age that I know!

    thanks quantumsheep, it's just too bad that here in my town I can't speak English with my friends..
    That's because I'd like to study English in America or England ;)
    Thanks for all your help guys! I don't know if anyone could post me some more ways to go further, but I'm done for now.
    Best Regards.

    Yup. Everybody that I work with that is from outside the US has a degree, as far as I know. It's always the first thing we check when we look into potential design hires.

    If you don't have one it's much harder to get a visa. We lost a Canadian artist to visa issues, sadly.
