If you haven't been following Gamespy's Gaming University section, then you should definately check it out if you have an interest in a career in the games industry. Currently it is up to chapter 8, with Chris Carollo of ION answering the questions "Will a college degree help you when seeking a job in the gaming industry? What needs to be in your portfolio? Who writes the product manuals?".. Other industry types featured there include Cliff Bleszinski (Unreal Tournament), and Warren Spector (Deus Ex, System Shock). Programmers, artists, game designers should definately check it out..
