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. |

At 14, I haven't even chosen my A-levels yet so I've got quite a lot of choice. I'm doing an A/S (which is like half an A-level) in Ethics and Philosophy as well as in French, plus GCSEs in Art and Sociology as well as all the compulsory ones, and I'm pretty much set to get A - A*s across the board, so I could really study anything I want at college/university.
I'm definately gonna do Politics and probably Law, with the strong possibilities of Economics, A2 Ethics/Philosophy and maybe History and Psychology, or even Biology. Looking ahead, I see myself doing a degree in Politics or Law, but as I said, at the point I'm at it could really go either way. I plan to go to Cambridge like my sister, but I'm not entirely sure if I'm up to it. I'll apply regardless, but I'll probably end up going to the University of London or something. |
