| Sorta weird to post on your friend's account, but... whatever.
What do you mean "what to do next year"? How old are you, I guess? How much education have you gotten / are you planning on getting? I'm still a college student, going for my bachelor's degree. 2 years down, 3 to go |

| 1) Dont let other peoples decissions in life make yours.
2) You really shoulnt post under your friends account as you could get him banned or likewise with anyone. 3) I am going into Programming / Web Design, I am currently certified for other things such as Networking, CAD and Manual Drafting, and Windows and Linux operating system. Yeah. |

Originally posted by Randy53215 What he's doing doesn't seem to be so bad, though. This is just a temporary job I'm guessing, not a career choice or something. If you are "vacationing" for a year or two, I suggest you just get the first good-paying job you can find. Not McDonalds or some shit job where you'll get minimum wage and treated horribly. Find something in a store. If you're lucky you could work at a store that interests you. Knowing this board, that'd probably be a Best Buy or Gamestop or something. Does "vacation" mean like, travelling? Or are you just gonna sit around for a few years after school before you go off to college? I don't know if you can make/save enough money in one year to support yourself for two while still going to school and making decent grades. Good luck if you decide to try it, though. |

| I'm going to College this fall and I have absolutely no idea what I want to do with my life.
Is this bad? I took two years of Game Design at my High School though, using Maya. We did stuff from modeling rooms, barrels and shading, texturing, created castles (insde and out), created characters and boned them (yes, made the skelaton and everything so they could be animated, its a process known as boning), created guns and swords and put them into Photoshop making our own little "gaming manuals" of sorts, then had a final project which mine was just some huge environment. And just a ton of other stuff we made here and there that I can't really remember exactly. I learned quite a bit in two years, thanks to having a teacher who had worked in gaming companies before, so he really knew what he was talking about. I remember my Junior year my first character I made was so horrible, it looked like something that wouldn't even make the cut for Doug (I just thought it looked like something in Doug, Doug Funny anyone?). Then my senior year, we used pictures taken of ourselves for the textures, and the character I made actually looked like something that would be see in say, Half-Life 2. I remember my teacher saying he's going to have a site up with all of our past works on it, so I can use it as a portfolio I guess, and I've been wanting to show all of you guys for quite sometime. But honestly, in the two years of doing something at school that I thought I grew up wanting to do, I'm just not sure if Design is for me. I mean I love videogames, and will play them until my hands decay, but I'm not sure if that's what I want to do with my life. What do I want to do? I have no idea. But I'm not starting off big and going straight to a University, I'm just heading to JCCC for this upcomming year and maybe the next. If I find something else that I like, I'll probably head of to The University of Kansas (KU), but if I discover that I still want to go into Game Design I plan to go with a handful of my friends to the University of Advancing Technology in Arizona. But, in short. I'm clueless. And on a side note I wish some of my family would just lay off my ass and stop pushing me to enroll, take tests, asking me questions and everything about where I'm going, what I plan to do, etc. Its very annoying. Edit: Sorry, that was kind of off topic and didn't even answer your question. But, since I don't even know what I'm doing for my life, I doupt I have any tips or whatever for you also. Sorry ...

Originally posted by Racer Xeo Pshh. No. That's what college is for. Either you pick a major in something you think you'll like or you do what I did. I took all kinds of different classes until I found subjects (GIS and geology) that really interested me. Then I declared my major. You never know if you'll like something until you've really been exposed to it. Most people don't know what they wanna do out of high school. A lot of people don't know exactly what they wanna do after they get thier undergrad degrees. Me, I know the general areas I wanna work in but am not sure what kind of job I want in my field. You just gotta try things out and go with what works for you. I don't care how much money you make... if you hate your job you're not gonna be a happy person. Go with what you enjoy. You're not supposed to know what that is yet. So don't worry. |
