I just got finished with high school and getting ready to go into a 4 year school. I'm at a 2 year right now taking a storyboard and production class for animation. I was wondering for game development what would be some of the courses I would need to take and would I need to major in comp sci. Also what would help me look more attractive on the Job Market. Thanks for any tips!

"Game development" is a vague term. Can you be more specific? (After you read the FAQs.)
