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.
