I'm in my third year at college studying 3D animation and I'm planning to get into the game industry once I graduate. Honestly I don't know how important it really is to get the degree... what I hear from the game companies who recruit on campus is that a good demo reel is critical. It's hard to break into the industry because so many people are trying, most places demand a couple years experience. Building some really strong mods for games (and getting them hyped on the internet), interning with a game development company (probably unpaid), and hooking up with a startup company are all ways I know of that people have gotten started.
