They do no teach modding at school. It would be a nice class though

Modders learn mainly by poking around in the game and from forum tutorials. Some learning also occurs in dicussion with other modders on solving mutual problems or achieving specific results etc. Modding is quite a large area so most will have a field they are best at, and some will be more of a support - modelling, texturing, general coding, mapping, scripts, traits/ancs, 2D art, audio, music composition, file management/installers, research (gameplay, game mechanics and milieu) ad. inf!
