Anyone else seriously interested in going into the gaming industry as a career and know anything about what courses to take in college? Mum and I are both looking at the Uni of Phoenix's online program for some education.

ETA: Research says knowing C++ is tres important. Also knowing someone in the industry helps a lot. Also also, taking a course in game design is nice, but having a major in history/philosophy/etc with electives in tech writing, programming, gen design, and the like also works well.
And I need to get a PC capable of playing games because mods are excellent for resumes.
