The gaming industry.

[Synkronize]

Hi, New here but i just have a few questions.
What is the industry like?
Is there a chance that i would ever be able to find a job?
I live in Florida would i probably have to relocate to like Cali or something o.O?
Also is a game Designer an actual designer like with drawings or is it coding to as it sounds interesting but i am not much of an arts person.

I've heard that a Game programmer degree means nothing?

If i wanted to know where to get started on learning some programming as i have no clue but i have heard of C and C+ and C++ where would i go?

And just an additional has any one heard of the Grad program FIEA any opinions on it?
