I don't know much about the games industry, but you don't have to apply right now for grad school... a year or so to figure out what you want to do isn't unusual, soo long as you keep your skill set fresh.
Have you looked into finding a job with a gaming company that may help pay for your grad degree while you work there?

Problem is, there isn't many big companies here in Norway - there's a ton of small indies, so I might apply to some, but those usually cannot hire until they've gotten something shipped, and there's not many that's done that quite yet.
The alternative is moving to the states, and if I want to pull something like that, I'll need a more impressive resume first.

So when I took the LSATs I didn't do that well (not bad, but not great) because I didn't study. I'm studying now to retake in June, which means I won't start law school until fall 2014. Anyone here a lawyer/law student? I thought I remember Barmy mentioning that, but I could be wrong.

@Snalin Often times, Video Game Companies aren't looking for fresh grads, they generally only higher people who already have programming experince in another programming field. Thats generally how it works if you apply for a big company. Often times you can get into a startup, but a lot of times you wont get paid because its a startup.
I'm getting a degree in Computer Science, and I really don't know if i Iwant to get a Masters either but I do know I want to try and do my own startup. I've been convinced the best time to start your own business is when you don't have a house to pay down, or a family depending on a steady income. If you can live in your parents basement (And be movitated) you could make a cute little company for yourself, then you can higher fresh grads.

I am a law student, but caveat: I'm a law student in the UK, which is a totally different thing. I'm doing a BA in Law, and I am currently only doing one paper which would look like law to an American law school (and that's on the law of the European Union, not exactly relevant in the US!). However, if I can be of any use I'm happy to answer questions. We don't have LSATs here though. I'm not sure what those are.
