  1. Re:Starting at $60K? by pete19 · · Score: 1 · on IGN Talks Games Industry Salaries

    $60,000...Yeah, right!!

    I'm a third year Computing Science (A.I.) student. I was at my university careers fair today, and the most I can expect to earn as a starting graduate in the UK is in the area of £21,500 (~$38,000).

    A friend of mine just graduated with a BSc Games Technology (Hons) degree at another univerisity in Scotland. He said only one of the 20 or so people who graduated this summer have found a job!

    I think it would be quite interesting, but I don't know how much work is available afterwards. That, and it would mean spending four years in Dundee! Go Aberdeen!

    Sorry to anyone that lives in Dundee. My friend told me that Dundee itself was the worst part of his university experience!
