General Questions about getting into the industry

So guys I'm 18 and almsot done with school and after years of flip flopping I've finally decided I want to break into the game industry. I'm a dedicated gamer and the thought of making, writing for, reviewing, or even being able to just watch games being played really excites me and makes me want into the career even more. So what kind of college degrees help a person get into game development? How does one get INTO the industry it's self (where do I apply, locations, etc.)? My goal for this thread is to have established for my self a direction I need to start traveling to reach the start of my career.

Well first you need to decide on what you want to do:

Design?
Art?
Engineering?
Business?
QA?

This is an important step before you take any more, since many of these paths have vastly different paths on what comes next.
