How did you manage a job at riot with a Psych major? I'm going to school for Psych myself and I am genuinely interested in how you got a job here as Psych. Maybe as a future reference? D

Its much less about your degree and much much more about who you know, and how you present all of your skills when you interview. Just having a degree wont get you any job. You gotta know people to get the interview, then do well.

I'm liking how many CS majors there are. I'm also liking seeing all these new reds that never post on the forums.

Because some of those titles are really glorified versions of the layman's terms.

like...

community manager = forum admin

QA = quality assurance = game tester (associate means fairly low ranked to boot)

player support specialist = complaint reader.

production assistant = go to gopher for administrative work (this requires intelligence actually since you have to be flexible and able to accomplish different task sets. but it does boil down to you do whatever someone important tells you to do.)

Game Designer = pretty interesting. its based on talent on that task and creativity rather than your actual degree. my old GD boss was a history major though and he said that helped in creativity and pool of knowledge, but it is based on straight creativity and talent at game design.
