I plan to finish school and join either Edith Cowan or Curtin university and complete a degree in Computer animation. After that I intend to get a crappy job in order to save the money to go here: www.animationmentor.com to get further far better experience in character animation where I will create an epic demo reel at the completion of the 18 month coarse, and convince a company to hire me.

For now I will wallow in my own shitness.

Nice, what form of examination did you have in high school?

We have TEE for year 11 and 12 and what subjects you can get into in university depends on what TER (Tertury entrace ranking) you gain in the final exams. The TER is the average percent from all of your main subjects or something like that.

I graduated from high school 2 years ago.

Your examination sounds complicated. We get 3 subjects we have to pass(English, Math, Slovene) and two subjects we chose by ourselves. You need to chose Physics, Biology or Chemistry if you want to go to med school or things like that. Luckily law didn't have anything like that, so I was free when I chose History and Philosophy as my graduation subjects.

Well, I had this plan of staying in graduate school and completing my Ph.D. in mathematics, but that ain't happenin' anymore. I've applied to several different kinds of jobs. I just want something, anything, to tide me over for awhile.

What I thiiiiink I really want to do is get into something related to the entertainment industry, but I dunno. I'd also like to take a stab at real writing (like a book of some sort?) and also screenwriting (which is "real" writing but not what most people think of when you say you're a writer).

I'm at a weird place in my life where I actually am not sure which way I'm gonna go. I really won't know where I wanna go until I'm there though. This is because I will not continue doing something unless it feels "right" to me. We'll see.

Get into the Navy and work in there long enough as some kind of Electrician so I can retire with a good enough monthly income that lets me live nicely and do some traveling. I would REALLY like to move out of this city if not the state.

Finish up this year of high school, hopefully move back to Washington and finish up high school up there. Such a better education + people.

Then after that I'll just attend a community college for about 2 years then finish up in a university majoring in computer science.

I've had my whole life basically planned out for a while, when I was 4 I said to myself I would make games for a living. Since then it's thinned out to programming in general but for gaming it'd be a huge plus.

Hey 2d, shut up unless you're trying to get somewhere in life as well, which you probably aren't.

I was playing games since i was 3 years old, got klik n play when i was 8ish. I want to be a game designer when i finish college, i'll start in the field as a modeler though. Or perhaps level layout designer, as that would prolly be funner than modeling. Coding is too.. repetitive/boring for meh.

Economics and more economics and then maybe a job doing something with economics. Unless the universities won't accept me this year (it's a very competitive course) in which case I'll switch to philosophy.
