Currently: Undergraduate Sophomore in Business (more precisely, Marketing)

Recent realization: LOVES writing (more specifically the interactive format; tv shows, screenplays, comics), only lukewarm about a career in Marketing.

Knowledge: that a degree in marketing is only the fastest way to a sales position; not to an advertising one (my favorite aspect of the field).

Options:

1) Stick to my current major at a relatively unknown business college here in Canada.

2) Try my damnedest to switch to a US university for a degree in English hopefully Yale to which I was admitted a year ago but couldn’t go to because I got accepted after being waitlisted and had already made other (MUCH cheaper) plans for my current college. (This choice implies a 5-figure student loan).

3) pick another more specialized college for a career in writing (screenplays and tv shows ideally)

Feel free to suggest any other options.
