I'm doing a project for school about it. I can't go to the website at school for it, as it is a game company and is blocked. I need the following information:
Job Description
Average Salary
What degrees/training/schooling one needs for it
and Why it would be challenging
Please help! This project is worth big points and I NEED it. Last week of school and I haven't passed yet.|||Salaries aren't listed. You will have to find a Blizzard employee and ask them. An educated guess would be between $40,000 and $70,000 starting out. Pretty big gap there, but it's probably the best your'e going to get.

Can JUST ONE DQ Blizzard make me gain weight?
I had a Yule Flip Mint Chip Blizzard (it's the blizzard of the month) at Dairy Queen tonight. I almost NEVER eat ice cream, or any kind of dessert or sweet (I am too afraid that I will gain weight). Considering this, could me eating just one medium sized blizzard cause me to gain any weight? Thank you to anyone who answers!|||Absolutely not. One yummy dessert now and then will never hurt you. Now, if you were to have them several times a day, every day....that's a different story. Nothing will hurt you in moderation. :)|||no ofcourse its ok 2 give yourself what u want once in a while and if u eat right all the time and u always excercise then nothing will happen besides its only one blizzard not a x-large pixxa with meats and 50 diffferent chesses, don't worry if u want get the blizzard but only sometimes|||No, its just one. If you do for like, 3 or 4 days strait, then ya you'll probably gain a few pounds.|||I disagree with the other answers. Yes it will cause you to gain weight. Although it may not even be a pound, you will still experience some negative side effects from eating junk, always. Dont beat yourself up about it, but try not to "fall off the wagon" again ok.|||it'll take more than that to gain weight, u'd have to had had like 15 of those alone just to gain like one pound|||Nope, you're just fine. Having a majorly high calorie treat once in a while will not make you gain weight unless you start doing it on a constant weekly basis.
Enjoy :)
Enjoy :)
What music does Blizzard Entertainment use for their customer service?
same here, its pretty addictive huh?|||Blizz has customer serveice?
Im stuck in the middle of the DC blizzard should I stay home tomorrow?
I didn't buy any supplies I might not have any food to eat tomorrow what should I do?
Do you think the roads will be clear?
The snow is suppose to continue all day tomorrow.|||Yes I heard that on the Weather chanel ; that you are having a big snow storm Right now how many inches of snow is on the ground ? About road ; NO they will be ugly and dangerous|||Sure?
It's a blizzard?
Look in the real world.

Blizzard in spring time?
Not climate changes?
Not global warming?
Luke 21.30-36
Luke 9.25,55-56,60
Luke 24.44-45,47-48
What do you think?|||Stay in it's not going to be safe to get on the roads. I live on major road and I hear folks getting stuck outside my window. Boil some noodles (if you have) and add butter, use bouillon cubes and make soup, eat canned foods that you have in your pantry, or borrow some items from your neighbors|||Go out and build a snowman.|||I always valued my job and never stayed home.

What speed do you drive in a snow blizzard?
If the road is covered with snow, late at night, and the snow is coming down hard and in a blinding swirl, what speed would you drive at.|||It would be best to not drive at all under those conditions, but if you must drive, drive slowly enough so that you can stop in time to not hit anything that may be in front of you. The actual speed will vary with conditions and visibility. Try pretending that something on or beside the road is a person or another vehicle. If you can't stop before you pass it, you're driving too fast.|||Zero. No one should drive in a blizzard.|||What you're comfortable with. There's no reason to speed in those types of conditions just to appease others. They can always pass you if they're in such a hurry to possibly wreck.|||Whatever speed I'm comfortable with, the amount of snow on the road, and how far down the road I can see.
I once drove on a secondary road where the snow was kicking up so hard that I literally could not see the road in front of the car. It was like a sheet of white in front of the headlamps. I had to come to a stop during those times and when the wind let up a little to reveal the road in front, I could start to drive forward again. This went on for about 1/2 an hour and I did not get very far in that time but I made it home safely.|||Whatever speed you feel you can still stop the car in the event of a skid. In reality though, try not to dive in that weather.|||you should drive between 10-30mph. no higher than 40mph. here's a tip. drive at a speed where you are able to stop within range of your headlights.|||Depends on how fast people around you are going!

How do i get the code without a Blizzard Authenticator?
I don't wanna buy the damn authenticator and it says everywhere it's optional, then why the hell is it bugging me to get a code for something I don't want? Can i get around the code without waiting for the damn thing to be shipped to me as well as i don't feel like paying more for a game I already pay to play.|||If you have an IPhone/IPod Touch, Blizzard has an application which does the exact same thing. I don't think you have to pay for it, too.|||O yeah btw. This didn't help at all. Yahoo needs to remove the voting thing and let the asker always pick. Someon had hacked my blizzard account and added the authenticator. So if you ever need a code and never attached authenticator: call blizzard account services.

How long until Blizzard changes my password?
I changed my password in World of Warcraft because I had forgotten what it was, and it said to wait for an hour tops...
It's been three hours, I've never heard of a game with a password change that took that long. How long does it usually take for them to register the alteration?
Thank you.|||It should be instantaneous.
