Career Plans

I'm not really certain of the career i'm interested in. Game design is one that I am certain about. I see myself not only building a career for myself but pursuing something I've always wanted. Game design would help me put my ideas and creativity to work. Yet I'm not so sure about what field I want to pursue.

The reason i'm interested about this career field is because my life has revolved around videos games ever since I can barley remember. Ever since I was little it's what captivated me the most. The idea of being in control of another being and making an actual impact to it's world; this idea impacted me a lot as a child and made me feel important. I was the middle child and playing video games was an escape from being "Malcolm in the middle". Ever since then, video games have always been apart of my life and i'd love for it to be apart of my life.

I see myself using my imagination to help create works of art, in this case video games. I'd work good hours and I wouldn't have to work really hard.
