Continuing Education Options

[Saffy]

As many of you know, I have recently graduated from university with a degree specialized in Game Design. While I am happy with this degree, I am very interested in continuing my education. In particular, I would love to get into Creative Writing and hopefully at some point combine my two passions.

Would anyone happen to have any advice for such a situation? Should I be attempting to go for a Master's degree, possibly with a minor in Creative Writing? Or should I go down the road of having two Bachelor's degrees? One would be in Game Design and the other in Creative Writing. Should I just hold off for now altogether?

The last year of my life has been spent trying to find work in the game industry which has progressed slowly. While I do believe I could work on my portfolio and eventually get a job, I simply cannot stand this state of nothingness. I've wanted to get into writing for some time and I feel I have an opportunity to do so. Of course there are major issues such as my already pending student loans and the fact I can't afford more. Yet it's probably better to open more options now or even take on more debt now while I'm still young. I don't know.

Also, I'd love to use this opportunity to move to British Columbia.

Hmm well since you have student loans and such to pay, I'd hold off on more education until you can get finacialy stable. Of course if you come into some money then I'd suggest getting a Master's in Game Design, and minor in creative writing. You could eventually use the 2 skills together, but I think it might be harder to get recognized as an author rather than getting a job in the gaming industry. Of course it depends on what you'd write, and who you'd write for. Any ideas on things or what you might write for if you began writing?
