    Default University/Game Design?

    Hi all,

    As you may know, I am currently at college. I am doing a course which lasts for 2 years (this year and the next), and we have been told to start thinking about the future. I don't really know what I want to do when college is over.

    I was wondering, what choices would you guys say I have if I want to go into programming and designing games? This would be a very interesting subject for me to study.

    We have been told that we could go onto getting a job, doing an apprenticeship, or going to university. What other things could I have the choice of?

    Thank you, Skeletonlord

    Make a side hobby - like, starting creating a cool program NOW. You never never how it could turn out in two, three, or four years. I don't think I'll be going into programming (though it's very cool), but I always dreamed of making my own game.

    Maybe one day you can own your own game/studio like STS

    Leading on to your last point, "maybe I can own my own game", one of the units I have to do is create a computer game. Hopefully that unit should give me some insight into it

    I could start creating a game and looking into it now. Might be a good idea. Thanks!

    @razerfingers okay, I'll probably go onto work or another course at college (maybe game design)
