This man has done amazing things, but , like he himself said, he did it during the moments that actually matter, and no, I didn't ask questions here and wanted short term answers, I know it's a long rode, and a very tough one indeed, but I do want a career in this, if anything I'll have Profesional wresteling as a back up, that or do what Daeval said wich is to become a tester, and I've seen plenty of job offerings in testers paying $9.90 a hour wich is pretty good...im just asking for help, not answers Edit:What I ment by as soon as possible was really as soon as possible, not really fast, so if as soon as possible is 15-30 years then let it be <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Oh man...you emailed and got a reply back from Ken Silverman, so cool. For those that don't know, he wrote the BUILD engine (the one used for Duke Nukem 3D) by the age of 19. He was John Carmack's only true competition back then but he went back to college instead.
