right now i am a junior in highschool with excelled writing, drawing, and music skills. i didnt know where to turn my future until i talked to my school's counselor last week. she reccommended so many things but i found the broadest topic that included all of my talents to be graphic design/multimedia.
and i live in South Dakota now, and i looked at 2 colleges, and most specifically at their graphic design/multimedia programs. and there is 2 that i like, but i fear i will not be able to afford it. i have never been on the honor roll before..but i am this quarter(my gf motivated me enough to do it lol) and plan to be throughout the rest of highschool.
most of you know i have a job at the newspaper office as website manager. i also do some backup photography for my boss's side-business. its big with computers over there. they use all macintosh technology however. i had to get used to that! lol.. well i still only make a whopping $5.15 an hour and my boss goes around telling EVERYONE that ive done a year.5's worth of work on remodeling the sites. i plan to have computers a part of my career. well something with designing.
i dont think music would be my big career to start off with. that is my main plan though. the stable-normal-every day job thing is what im starting with though. we will see how i progress with guitar.
anyways back to the college stuff. there is one that is a 4 year(bachelor's) and that is about 4 hours away(yikes!) and the one that is 2 hours away, is a 2 year(associative) and i havent looked at statistics or anything of which one is more successful from colleges or anything..but i know that bachelors prolly would get the higher job. but its 4 hours away. the only reason i would go to the 2 year is because friends and family is closE(most importantly my gf) but if i lose my gf, this will not matter to me anymore. my gf would be in highschool 2 years after i graduate. and she might move to the town that is 2 hours away so if we are still together then, it will work out perfectly
ofcourse there is other things that matter, like finding a job and a place to live.. but i am just like worried sick about all this (and so is my gf)
i just need some encouragements or suggestions or something from you guys
love ya!!!!
