Today I spent an hour researching game companies in the San Diego area. I found several. Actually, I have a short list of 9 companies that I will contact soon. I am finishing up the academic year (AP Exams will be done in 10 days) and will be ready to put in more time towards my 2 ideas that will help me reach my financial goal of $1 Million within 5 years (stated earlier).
Idea 1: Real Estate Investing
Idea 2: Physics Seminars for Game Programmers
About 4 years ago in the summer I flirted with the game consulting idea for a local company that made a hockey game for the PS2. The shocking part of the deal is when I put my proposal together, it was agreed to. No negotiating. Damn. Could I have asked for more? I guess I will find out next time. It was luctrative..
There are tons of game companies here in Southern Cal. And a lot of the games need realism in their worlds to be successful. And, according to one game industry expert who I already interviewed in order to see if my product was worth marketing, the game programmers are lacking basic physics skills. This is where I will come in. I have been developing a product that will enhance the programming abilities of game programmers who create worlds which rely on visual realism.
So give me 10 days and when these AP Exams are over (I teach AP Calculus and AP Physics) I will have a lot more time to fully develop and market my product.
In the meantime...I have been reading The Number by Alex Berenson which covers some pretty eye-opening issues behind Wall Street. A very good read so far.
Tonight let's hope Mavs can take SacTown in game 5.

Beautiful ideas you have.
I'm studying up on the real estate investing myself. I dunno if you've found a good source of info, but I've been learning an incredible deal from Robert T. Kiyosaki (author of Rich Dad Poor Dad).
His formula to wealth is quite simple. I'm working on it in my respective life right now...scoping out viable investment options.
