Want to answer more questions in the Technology category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Computers?
yay, there's one more potential game designer in the world!!
well, depending on where you live, you should try and find colleges and universities that either specialise specifically in technology development, design, and application, or that have those kinds of studies and are very highly ranked in that area. i live in the omaha area and although it seems like a tiny school, UNO (university of nebraska at omaha) has a very, very good school of computer sciences. i mean, do you know how many asians come here just for that?! (sorry, i meant no offence by that, i just went a little carlos mencia...). utilise your friends google and wikipedia to find other schools, and look for ones with intership opportunities so you can get experience in the actual field. you'll learn more things plopped in front of a computer with no outside instruction than you ever will from a textbook. ^_^
one definite way to get ideas and experience: PLAY VIDEO GAMES!!!!!!!! depending on whether you want to work in the gaming industry as a person who thinks up this awesome centaur in a tutu that does a fiery pirouette and drop-kicks opponents, or as a person who figures out the actual codes and programing requirements for the tutu to move realistically and how blood will drip down the walls after the opponent is thrown against it, you should play different games that are highly technologically- or visually-ranked, as well as story/plot, player view, sound, graphics, game play style, etc.
play around with sample codes and programs you can find on the web for game development. start with simple programming programs (like basic, python, etc.).
hope this helped. good luck! make me a video game someday!!

If you want to do game designing and development, you should DEFINITELY get into software engineering, not computer engineering. They are totally different things.
I take it you're coming right out of high school? Just a warning, engineering is NOT a college course, it's a university course, so you'd be getting a degree, not a diploma.
Pretty much, there isn't much you can do at this point regarding pursuing a career, since you're not close to done your schooling. Just try to get summer jobs while you're in school that are in the field of software design.
Good luck!
