[arg_discuss] What skills do you need for working in ARGs & transmedia

[Brooke Thompson]

Tomorrow, I am meeting with various people from the State of Georgia  
to talk about transmedia and the skills and education required for it.  
It's part of some education grant program that helps to make sure that  
GA has a competitive work force.

I am at a loss. Transmedia skills tend to be more "liberal arts" than  
technical - or, rather, we contract out what we need when we need it  
which changes frequently. Or is that just how I see it from where I'm  
standing - do you producer types see it similarly? If you could say  
that you'd like to see more people better educated in something, what  
would that something be? Or, is there some knowledge or skill you have  
that you feel has been instrumental or something you wish you had,  
what is it?

Help me not sound like an idiot or at less like less of one ;)
