Advice
Resources I would recommend for those interested in getting into game development (books, tutorials, sites, etc)
Get your hands dirty as early as possible! Whether that's making a level on your own or finding a mod team... success of the project isn't as important as the experience you gain. You gotta learn to walk the walk to represent yourself as a cultural "insider" in game development.
Remember that all jobs are filled based on "perceived risk" and the less the perception of risk the more likely you are to be hired so take an honest look at your own accomplishments and talents and decide for yourself whether you look like a risk or an asset to any company you're interested in.
Perseverance, talent and self motivation will get you want you want. If that's a career in game development... Then that's what you'll get!
