Jagex Trip

Using the trip to Jagex I have discovered the wide variety of available jobs at a game studio. after the trip I have identified the data analysis, developers and design jobs are most suitable for me as they suit my talents and also interest me the most. The data analysis allows for me to get an entry level position and then move around the company late on in my career.
