9/13 My Future

So I've been wondering a lot about what I will do in my future. I mean, what I will do in a few months when I finish my studies. There are a few options, so I will list them and write positive/negative points about each.

1. Keep Studying

Pros: I get to learn more stuff, and I have a "name", which I can use to be influential.

Cons: I don't want to keep studying, I think it's meaningless. If there is anything I want to look up, I can probably do it by myself and without anyone to tell me to. I don't want to study something that I wouldn't like. And I wonder what I would like to study. Video games? Sociology?

2. Work in a Big Company

Pros: I get "experience" to put on my CV and gain some kind of working history for future projects. I can make a name too, and therefore use it as some kind of influence. And I get money, which can be useful.

Cons: I lose my time, a few years doing something I don't like and where I only learn about video games production and nothing else. I could get into capitalism which isn't really what I want.

3. Work Independently

Pros: I do what I want, and what I want is useful for everyone. I get to apply what I have been studied and can change the world with my games. I am motivated working. I could lead to awesome projects.

Cons: It costs money and I don't have any, so I would need some kind of advising since I'm not really good with money. I would need to find other people to work with me, which could be hard to find and pay. It would be really hard to have to work on everything.


So that's it. I'm mostly hesitating between 2 and 3, honestly. It could be tempting to do research, but I suppose it isn't my forte. I suppose the less crazy option would be 2. Maybe I could work for 2 or 3 years in a big company, and then when I pay off my debts I can take another loan and start my company or something like that? I need to see how these things work... anyway, I will have to work hard! lol

Oh, and I'm also thinking whether going to Toronto to be close to Eason or staying in Montreal. Economically there are reasons to go to Toronto, but Montreal has more video games companies. Hmmm... Let's see...
