Can a computer science degree get me into video game industry?
video game industry need computer experts so I am wondering does anyone with a computer science degree can pay the bill of being a programmer for the games they make. Also is the usual programming same as the game programming, because I saw classes for "game programming" and not labeled as "computer science."

I am certainly no expert but I don't think that "Computer Science Degree" equates to "Game Programming", unless you know programming stuff... But then again what do I know?

It sounds like you really want to be a game designer, at this point since you are just about to graduate high school you should already be designing your own interactive computer games (everyone else going for a career in game design is) when you go to college you should be at the top of your class (everyone else going for a career in game design is) and should be building a portfolio of games that you can show to prospective employers when you are ready to graduate(everyone else going for a career in game design is). When you graduate you will be one of a million people looking for a job in game design so you better have the best portfolio and greatest personality of all the job seekers. After graduation if you are lucky enough to get a job be ready to work 80-100 hours a week and get paid little (because really there are thousands of geeks out there ready to take your place at the drop of a hat).

Can you become an accountant with a computer science degree
Can you become an accountant with a computer science degree?
Would a degree in computer science be applicable to a job in accounting? Would a degree in accountancy be applicable for a job as a programmer?

No, you cannot become an accountant with only a computer science degree. You wouldn't have the education to pass the CPA exam and get your license. Also, no one would hire you to do their accounting if you have no formal accounting education.

What could you do in the financial world with a computer science degree
What could you do in the financial world with a computer science degree ?
computer science students don't only know how to program, the programming skills gives them excellent insight views and the high maths could help them analyse things, so in what field of finance should a computer science student go (perhaps with a masters degree in finance)

If you are good at math and statistics, there is a lot you can do in the financial world. All of the big banks, investment banks, auditing firms, etc hire tons of CompSci majors to do stuff like develop forecasting models and analyze trends and risk forecasting. If you are still in school, take accounting and a couple of finance classes so you have the basic background. Also a financial derivatives class would help you a lot.

You could become a glorified secretary at first - highly paid working with all kinds of software. You'll move up. Sign up with a temporary agency to get experience at different companies. /

I have this degree and live in Indiana and I currently make $7.50 hr and hate my life. If you find anything let me know, maybe I am looking in the wrong places, but I also have 4 years of Tech Support in Sony's Vaio Department and still cant get even an entry level job. Its tough man.

How much study is involved in a computer science degree
How much study is involved in a computer science degree?
Ho much actual at home study is involved in a computer science degree as I also work a full time job.

A LOT. Computer Science is a branch of a Mathematics degree, so a lot of math classes are involved (think calculus and above). Any degree you wish to pursue will all involve a ton of study in the college level
2
I hope you love programming because they do a lot of programming and its really time consuming learning codes so hopefully your only taking like 12 units a semester or your really into this stuff or else you will have some difficulties.
3
There are a lot of factors: 1. How many classes are you taking? 2. How good is your grasp for technology (do you have a passion for it?) 3. Is your current job related to technology? You are going to have to think in a different way... depending on the program, you will also have to learn 4 or 5 computer-based languages, and how to think logically, etc. In the beginning, you will spend time changing into that mode of thinking. It may be a good idea to start slow...
4
If you want to do well, you'll have to study an average of 3-5+ hours for each course per week. Hours of study may vary with your aptitude for math...

Which Computer Science degree course would be most beneficial for Software/Game Design and Engineering
Which Computer Science degree course would be most beneficial for Software/Game Design and Engineering?
At one of the universities I'm looking at going to, they have 3 different degree courses-, all 5 years- B.S & M.S. in Computer Science B.S. in Computer Science, M.S. in Software Engineering B.S. in Computer Science and Mathematics Please give reasoning behind your answer, I want what would make me the most marketable in the real world, and I would graduate in 2015, so I doubt the recession would still be that big of a deal.

The MS in Software Engineering would get you where you want to go

If you are an undergrad, focus on BS in Computer Science and Mathematics. Computer game design requires a solid mathematical foundation. MS in Computer Science would be good for your long term job prospects.
