JOBS & CAREERS
With major changes in the entertainment industry as well as poor albums sales across the industry, the market that still has enormous growth and doesn’t look like it is going to slow down anytime soon is the video gaming industry. Starting a video gaming job and/or career may be the perfect time to do so. With over 10 billion in sales per year, this is a growing market that will continue to cross lines and create trends.
A lot has changed since Atari released the 2600 family entertainment video game model back in the late 70’s.

With music crossing into this market with releases like “Guitar Hero”, this market is pulling more music enthusiasts into the gaming industry.
