I’m 19 and attending community college. I’m getting my general associates of arts along with a graphics/web developer certificate.
My plan right now after community college is to transfer to a state university for a BFA: Digital Animation in Spring 2019…
I don’t know if I should consider going for a Computer Science degree/minor as well… or focus on gaining more certificates/skills outside university. (I’m experimenting with Photoshop CC and learning C++ right now)
My problem is that I want to be a jack of all trades. I want to be able to work in 2D & 3D animation the most, but I am also interested in Video Game Design & Development, Web Design,and Software Development.
My family is located close to St. Louis, MO where there are more software and web design opportunities than animation and video game design/development. I’m not sure if I’m going to be able to relocate after I graduate from university for at least a year.
What would you advise me to do?
