It's your world now. Group: Veterans Joined: 13-January 07 |
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. |

Yeah the combining the creative writing and being able to come up with your own ideas would surely help you farther down the road if you make it big in a game desigining. I guess it really depends on your own personal interests on what you do, but I'd advise staying with game design for a while to see more of how jobs are like for it. If you don't really like it then maybe get a bit of education in creative writing, but make sure you don't put yourself in financial debt at a young age.
