Since you already have a DEC, you might try applying at a few other local game companies that hire a lot of entry level developers. Check out the game dev map at http://gamedevmap.com/index.php?tool=location&query=Montreal. Some studios offer tuition assistance. No need to look for an internship or break in as a tester if you can walk through the front door and have them help you jump through all the hoops! -frob Tester to programmer is a pretty okay plan, but there may be better plans out there for you.

Good plan! (Not that I did not know about it for a long time, but it's still a good way to throw it down in words!) After all that, if you still want a "life altering" situation have children, let me tell you that this is life altering to the max! :P Hehe! Good plan!

Come on! :P) and most of the games that I wanted to play. But my list of shame is more of things that I started but never did finish, like that book I was writing, that guitar I was playing, those drawings that I used to draw and of course that game that I was making... I'm a huge pile of shame myself ;) But to stay on topic, I'd say the biggest game that I always wanted to do but never did finish would be Tales of Phantasia, on snes. Very good game, but damn, I always end up stuck. (oh, btw, skip suikoden 3 and BURN suikoden 4, your soul is at stake!! Biggest flop since Superman 64, no kidding.)
