I understand that people may say for him to pick another field but IF he has made up his mind what steps can he take to prepare himself for such a venture? What should be his first steps? Is there a college major he should take? I suck at anything involving computers or software etc. my job involves the health field which is very different than the one my 16 year old wants to be in. I'm hoping that whatever is written I can direct him to this thread so he can understand what he's getting himself into or whatever. I constantly tell him how awesome the Goon Hivemind is so I'm hoping you domt let me down. Is he sure he wants to be a programmer ? A lot of game development actually has little to do with programming and is done by graphical artists and animators. Programmers mostly work on the infrastructure behind the game and not the stuff you actually see. Make sure he finds out what he actually likes because they are vastly different career trajectories.
