What should I do now in order to get a job at bungie in the future?

I am a 15 years old highschool student in Ankara, Turkey. My only dream is to be a worker at Bungie when I grow up. Is there anything you would reccomend in order to do that? I searched for the universities that Bungie employees studied at, but couldn't find anything. I'm trying to get a scholarship from a university abroad since there aren't many good ones in my country that teaches sofware. What university should I aim for? Is there anything else I can do that will help me get a position there? I am willing to base my whole school-life around this dream if it means I will have the chance to work at Bungo. P.S. Even though I'm aiming for a game designing or testing position for Destiny 2, I would also love to be a lore writer for that game since writing is one of my favourite things to do.

    https://www.bungie.net/en/News/Article/11439 You should check out their old [i]Breaking In[/i] posts like the one linked above. They’re basically interviews of different employees about their roles and how they got their jobs at Bungie. As far as what university you should go to, one common theme you’ll pick up from those interviews is that your portfolio is significantly more important than your degree. In other words, if you’re serious about getting into the industry, you should start learning how to code and practice making games, like, right now. It’ll also help you get into a better university. While getting a degree is a good idea, universities offer great resources when it comes to things like internships and networking. In that particular field, that’s one consideration you should pay much closer attention to. Because, if you’re good enough at what you do, some companies will basically tell you that you don’t need to finish your degree and have you come work for them. So when you’re picking a university, look for: 1. the rankings of their relevant degree programs, 2. the quality of their internship opportunities, 3. graduate employment rates, and 4. cost and scholarship/financial aid offers. [spoiler]However, I don’t think that working at Bungie will be how you imagine it to be.[/spoiler]
