I believe that I can. Thanks a lot for the response, Zileas!

So it seems you need to branch off in computer science and software engineering in college and stuff to learn the most out of c++.Riot has stance on which college or university path offer the most on that?

EDIT: been trying to gather the information but unless you got an actual guidance counselor in here its rather vague.

Hypothetically speaking, if you were a young undergrad student, about to graduate with a degree in nothing that has anything to do with anything directly involved in design, or development, or anything related to actually making or maintaining a game, but with plenty of skills applicable to things like interfacing with that game's community base or perhaps improving player's experiences, or conducting primary research with members of the public - with a degree in a discipline like, perhaps, social anthropology (hypothetically) - would a company like Riot have any interest, whatsoever, in someone who's spent four years studying social sciences and developing qualitative research and analysis skills?

Just out of curiosity. I just got accepted to grad school, but nothing ventured...

What are the requirements? What degree in education? Need a comp-sci degree or just some knowledge in it?

Do you care about past experience? Volunteer work? Do you care if i happen to be in bronze 900 MMR?

Experienced in game design meaning you developed a game by yourself? Does helping count as experienced?

I would refer to my earlier comments. First, make it your hobby. Then, make it your career.

No reason you can't do just that while in grad school, and turn your research towards some of the questions that are highly relevant to player behavior, game design, etc.

You know, this post reminded me that I went shopping earlier today, and crossed the street in Venice named 'Zanja'

Rhymes with....

I bet the property values on that street are elevated.

See what I did there?

Although this is a ways off for me, I intend to get a degree in actuarial sciences. I'm fairly sure I'll end up working in insurance, but are there any positions in riot that could use actuarial sciences?
