Send to email | Want To Work In Video Games? Get An MBA in General | By Silicon el 14-Apr-2008 |
Money Pile: Paste this image in your site, Myspace, Facebook, Ebay copy this code...
Video game employees get to play Halo, Rock Band and Wii bowling. And they don't make bad money, either: An average of $73,600 last year, according to a recent survey.
Sadly, like just about every other industry, the best money goes to those who can brandish an MBA: "Business and marketing" types made an average of $101,848. Actual programmers made an average of $83,383.
The lowest paid? Quality Assurance drones, who made $39,063. Still that's not bad dough to play Gears Of War, over and over and over. And unlike writers who pull down salaries in the same neighborhood, they don't have pain-in-the-ass editors.
