Looking for a career in the industry? Don’t pass on that boring physics class just yet.

While you’ve probably seen a number of game design degrees available, Matthew Jeffery, the head of European recruitment for Electronic Arts, has some statistics that might just make you think twice about taking the supposed easy route to a game job.

Of the past 350 people hired at EA, only two of them were entry level games designers - neither of them had game degrees.

Don’t tell everyone though - with dwindling numbers in the far more relevant fields of computer science, mathematics and physics, look at this as your opportunity to do things right.
