Decisions, decisions, decisions…
Well, well, well, so the time has come to choose which Poly and course I would like to attend to after my O’s. It’s amazing really, I thought I have made up my mind years ago about what course I was going to attend. Suprisingly after the visits to the two Polys I went to, NYP and TP, I kind of have a change in mind about the course that I would be going for.
Well on my visit to TP I was kind of getting the hook onto “Interactive Media Design”. Seemed pretty interesting with the fact that you will be designing webpages and get to touch screens on your third year lol. But then I had to consider the fact that Singapore, unfortunately, isn’t quite the “Media” kind of state yet. No offence but it just seems like the entertainment industry isn’t too established over here……yet.
So I kind of moved on to NYP where I inquired a bit more on design courses and engineering too. Well the only reason why I inquired about the engineering courses, was just because it felt quite “stable” job wise. Yes, I had to consider job opportunities in-future, since I didn’t want to end up jobless with a diploma!
Anyway, from what I know now of engineering is that it really has lots to do with you know, Math and Physics. Well I am not totally the Math-Physics kind of fella. But well it is “good” for me.
So after that, I kind of moved on to the digital media school. I must say, what I saw there really caught my eye.
During the three day span of the visits, I had a tough decision on whether to concentrate on engineering or design. One was good for me and the other was my passion. So when I went to the digital media school, what caught my eye was it’s Programming course (I forgot the real name; forgive me). So well programming of course does require math and stuff, but the programming I was looking at was for gaming. In other words it is game design, but whatever, it is the same. So from what I heard there, it seems like math and stuff combined with a tincy bit of art in it. Should be quite a good mixture. After all, should I drop design in future I still have the math to support me.
Well, it’s still a bit unclear to me whether I should go for it or not. I will just have to give myself a bit of time to see the light in things and then decide.
Wizz….
