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.

When it really comes down to it, yes, I just want to leave home. I'm tired of living here and I feel I'm just completely wasting my life and amounting to nothing living here. I'd love to move to another city or even just move out. At least then I'd feel that while working at a part-time job and on my portfolio that I'd be making progress in life. Perhaps that sounds stupid, but I feel I'm not really living being stuck at home. I understand there's good in my current situation, but being bored out of my mind everyday and unfulfilled completely sucks.

With that said, I am still interested in continuing my education. But I do feel I'm probably more interested in having an excuse and possible means to move to British Columbia.
