I know this was only posted an hour and a half ago, but there have been some damn good suggestions here, so I wanted to say thank you for your replies (negative and positive).
I'm not the one trying to break into the gaming industry...I'm a graphic designer. Ask me anything about QuarkXpress and I'm probably able to answer it - kerning, tracking, tabs, keylines, all that geeky gd stuff. You don't have to believe me, that's fine. But thanks anyway, and thanks in advance to anyone posting advice after this.
This kid really needs a nudge in the right direction, and judging by the replies I've seen, he should have a good idea of where to go from here. You very well may have changed someone's life (for the better). Whether or not he appreciates my going behind his back to ask career advice is another story....but it's worth the risk in trying to help a friend, right?
Anyway, thanks a lot, Slashdotters.
