So I have an extreme passion for both Chinese Medicine (herbal medicine) AND for Game Designing/ Animation
Now Im in my last year of highschool and have to choose what degree to pursue after I graduate.
I'm at a crossroad because if I take the Chinese Medicine course, I am practically guaranteed a job and I will be graduating as a Doctor (of chinese med) at the age of 23, so you can see that is a pretty good deal itself.
On the other hand I also really love drawing and gaming, and my selected college has global connections that are promising so I will also gain a job after graduating from this degree.
But I cant do both because pursuing one or the other is full time and to graduate from one, I will have to dedicate my life to it, if I don't, it would be a waste of money put into college funds to study both and only be able to really dedicate to one.
the pros for both is that I will be able to travel with both jobs. The only difference is, I am guaranteed a steady wage with Chinese Medicine and with Game design/Animation, my wage may not be steady or even guaranteed for the first few years.
BUT if I do succeed with animation, I could really make money. (money isn't my priority though but it is definitely a variable to consider if we are speaking realistically)
so I just want to know anyone's opinion on what I should do? or just thoughts on my situation or your own personal experiences in either industries??
