For someone graduating with a Math BS, are there job positions on the movie set for people like me? I would be willing to fetch coffee/clean toilets if it means traveling on with the crew of The Hobbit.

As an outsider to the game industry, it seems like it's very hard to get a job from one of the "big" corporations like Activision or Valve? I have a good BS degree from a good university, but it seems there's this giant glass wall in the game industry.

What should one like me do to build up a good "game-related" resume so I can apply to Blizzard without feeling like a scrub? I'm not really interested in designing, would like to be in a support role (database admin, network admin).
