When trying to decide if game design is the right career for you, ask yourself a few questions:
* Do you find yourself analyzing the games you play, often trying to figure out what you don’t like about them as well as what you do like?
* Do you sometimes find yourself playing with a game’s level editor more than the actual game itself?
* If you have a set of dice in front of you, does your mind start wandering to all the different game variations you could create?
* Do you find yourself making up stories for your character while playing games that lack story?
* Do you walk around your town or the local mall and think about what a great game level they would make?
If you can answer yes to one or more of those questions, a career in game design might be for you!
