Aren't careers fun?

They're certainly more intersting than jobs. Looking into information technology, I would have to go with video game artists. Of course, I want to be a game artist more than a programmer. Well not so much more thant, but I don't want to be a programmer. I could, but my interest lie elsewhere. IBeginning artists with no experience can expect to make 41,500 a year. Once you have gained at least three years your earning will increase to $53,300. A game artist that can last in the business for over six years will make $66,700 a year.
Being a video game artist is probably the less rigorous of all the game industry positions out there. All you need is either a recommendation based on your art skills, a portfolio and/or a associates or higher in the art field.

Right...

Being a college student is kinda cool. I get to meet new people who I will probably never meet again ever.
Classes are fun, but I'm still not sure what to do with myself. I wanna be an artist...and I want to make video games. I have some commitment issues. It's hard for me to give 100% of myself to any given task. Even the ones I am dedicated to. In between being an artist and a game designer, the game design thing has a good possibility of coming true. But if I was to be an artist, it would be something I enjoyed every minute of. I'm torn really.
My career goals aren't really solidified.

College and Webcomics

Right so my financial aid has come through and be adjusted. At this point, my estranged mother and current guardian have made it an absolute point to hound me about this since they can't be bothered with the time of day. I know they are voicing their concern, but they need some patience. Since there is a lot of waiting that needs to be done when it comes to financial aid, they really should not be asking me everyday if the school has said anything. This stuff takes time, they know schools about to start, but they can't rush anything or else they risk screwing up. 
It's kinda like coloring inside the lines. If you go to fast you risk going outside them and messing up a part of the picture, or worse the whole thing. So them getting on my nerves with petty complaints aside, I plan on started a webcomic for you all to read! All 2 of you. The rest of you, support me dammit!
So while I'm working on that, I also plan on doing more reviews of games I've completed. Look forward to:
Sonic Colors
Epic Mickey
Golden Sun Dark Dawn
Dissidia Duodecim Final Fantasy
Radiant Historia
Xenogears
Kid Icarus
Rayman
Rayman 2
Metal Gear Sold 4
Star Ocean 4
