Answer:
Programmers: they are the best of the best. Gaming programming is generally regarded as one of the most difficult types of programming. Artists: you'll need an impressive portfolio of your art. 3D models, concept designs, etc. all help. Misc. other jobs: you could try to be an accountant, lawyer, secretary, etc. for a gaming company just to get inside of it, but I doubt that'd be very thrilling. Here's my suggestion: start small. Work for a small gaming company first and develop a portfolio of your work. A good portfolio is much more important than a good degree from college. If you have to, work on some open-source game projects to develop your skills.

learn to spell, that is very important to writing programming language, and if you don't know how to spell, look up the words.. http://www.allwords.com Like mention. Good verbal skills are also necessary to describe what you want to say, exactly as you want it understood. This would be good advice for any profession, as many people can hear, see and comprehend your intelligence from listening to your voice, vocabulary and how well you explain your thoughts.
