At uni, working towards a very unspecific degree with a very specific title.
They call it "computer games programming" but it's really just general coding with some physics thrown in.

Take it Easy

Finished High School, but no college plans.I need to pay bills after all, and scholarships and loans won't cover everything.

About to start an undergrad course in History and International Relations at Lancaster University. Plan on doing a minor in Philosophy for the first year.
I went to Lancaster. Did a BA in English Literature with Creative Writing and Practice.

I hear there's a dude called Sandy in the History department who is a law unto himself.

Wong's Kitchen is excellent.

I hear someone in the philosophy department apparently set fire to his own hand to prove a point.. Lancaster Uni's lecturers seem quite interesting lol

About to start my second year doing History at Cambridge. Don't know if I'm going to go further with it. It's a terrible excuse but I might get a masters simply because I can't decide what else to do, which I think we can all agree is a good use of a year of my life and about £10,000 of my money.

I'm in high school, but I'm not sure if I'm going to finish it. I'm certainly not going to college.

I much prefer self-education to formal education, as I do not feel I am very compatible with the system.

I gots me a degree in tv movie films, artz and entertanument. Honestly it's just a piece of paper when you think about it and some of my friends with more "formal education" than me are struggling to find work. Then again I work in the entertainment business which is much different than most other professions.
One of my close friends has one of those. He is a fraud analyist for paypal. He finds, researches and figures out how new and exciting scams are being utilized on the internets. I fail to see how his knowledge of cinima helps but he likes his job.
