Full Sail, Digipen and Guild Hall are among the best if you're trying to become a game developer

Maybe you're lucky, but everyone I know who's working that came out of those schools says they're lucky as hell to have a job.

Reality is, that's absolute rubbish. Unless you intend on working for John Romero, you won't get much/any respect with one of those degrees.

I don't judge anyone based on the school they come out of, but based on the people I've met/worked with who came out of those schools, they've no business competing with real degrees from major universities. I had a "professor" from Full Sail talking to me over dinner and I've never heard anyone so far up their own ass. Best part is, the guy had never written a game in his life and he's sitting talking to three guys who just got done getting their names in the credits of various PS3/360 games. Yeah, let's just say the only person who wasn't pissed was the guy who brought him. He was a nice guy, both of them, but the "professor" had no business teaching anything based on the conversation.
