Looking for colleges again... all across the US...

It's been awhile since ISU, and that experience has left me flustered and annoyed. Web Design was... my plan B. That is to say, I went into Web Design, instead of what I really WANTED to go into, on the notion that I would have a better chance at finding work. I've gotten bits of work here and there, but nothing big time. While 500 dollars is nice for a paycheck, 500 dollars once every few months or so doesn't cut it.

.... and truthfully, I don't especially care for it. Web Design is... less creativity and more blatant suck-upery then I had expected. People aren't really interested in the artistic half of things, and most don't even want it (mainly because it costs more).

SO!... this time ("this time" meaning whenever I start being eligible for Pell grants and such) I'm tempted to make a gamble, and go with what I originally wanted to do; Game Design. Dunno which half of game design (graphical or technical, and no I won't just automatically choose the artistic side), maybe just general game design.

If I did, it would mean a lot of things. I'd have to figure out how I'm gonna be making money in the interim, and probably think about scholarships this time around (I can't always rely on Voc Rehap). More then anything, I'd have to think about moving out... more-so because I WANT to then I have to. And they are game design colleges all over the place, Montana, Arizona, Florida, and several colleges that just say, "all over the us". It would be nice if I went somewhere where I know somebody, but I also almost think... I wanna go where I don't have any family. Mainly because I've never truly been independent... in my entire life. I could probably get off easy I guess, if I went where I had family, but it would be too easy. Maybe friends, but not family.

Most people around me seem to be leaning me towards learning to be a teacher... but I wonder if I really want to, to be honest. It's probably a lot safer bet then web design, but... I dunno... I don't want to wait much longer before pursuing the thing I WANT to learn, least that's what I tell myself.

Anyway, I'm still young, so I'm told, and apparently I can't get all the great grants and stuff till I'm 24 (I just missed it, I had to be born January 1st 1987, so I'm just shy 17 days). Until then, I've still got time to think.
