High Quality: Multimedia & Graphics Colleges
I'm in a Predicament and I need as much of your assistance as feasably possible:
I've recently graduated from the Westchester Business Institute in White Plains, NY about 5 months ago with a 3.90GPA and an Associate Degree In Applied Science for Multimedia Development and Managment ala Summa Cum Laude by Age 19. I hit 20 in July and the years are piling on and time is growing short to get to where I wanna be.
Now my dilemma resides in the fact that an Associate Degree and the knowledge I've obtained are not good enough to get me to do what I wanna do and be what I wanna be to go where I wanna go. I'm also torn between 2 fields which makes my decisions even harder. I love 3D Graphics and Game Design which has been my primary goal since age 5, but while attending school I've come across adoring Video Editing and Special Effects.
I'm an artist by nature with an eccentric personality and deranged and acidic way of working on projects. My thoughts are pretty random and a low attention span always (ADD) keeps my mind moving thinking of new things, I play games obsessive-compulsively and thats why I want to make them, but creative special effects in video seem to have more creative freedom.
Schools I've looked into break my 2 loves into 2 separate, highly expensive majors to which I want a batchelors in at least one of them before I head to the job of my dreams.
My goals aren't that rich but it seems to be hard to decide how to get there. I want to make games, go to shows like E3 and Siggraph for a living, always seeing the latest technology and graphics enhancements while living a fulfilling life of fun and joy and constant creativity (too much to ask I know).
Now that I'm working at a full time job (I work bout 7 days a week, crap illustrator work & Data Entry mon-fri and caddy on weekends) I don't have time to study what I want nor do I have time to practice using the things I need to learn.
I can't decide whether to move out of state and leave everybody I know behind and start fresh in another state at a good college (to which I need your help on deciding) or stay in NY-TriStateArea with everybody I know and limit my career path severely. Costs of out of state colleges come into play as well as finding one that will have a backing because in 10 years I dont want people to say "I've never heard of it, where is it located again?", I wanna hear "Oh really? You went there, thats a great college".
If you can try to help me step by step if my post was comprehensible try to answer the numerous questions placed within this post. There are a few, but I think I went on a rant. I look forward to your replies because I wanna go back to college within a year to get off on the right foot As Fast As Possible.
Thanks Lots.
