Currently doing the first year in a Game Art Course at Uni, but I’m kinda on the fence about it. The Industries terrible, I’m not really sure if I even enjoy art that much or if I just went with it to meet more queer kids tbh. It’s also an industry were alot of people are self-taught, so at the end of the day if I think I’ve made a major mistake the doors not completely closed.

My other option is a course in Digital Forensics, which has the advantage of being a steady STEM subject that I’m interested in that has a lot more employment opportunities and definitely far less chance of crunch. I have done previous qualifications in coding and enjoyed them too. I kind of like the idea of being able to make art as a hobby again instead of it always feeling like work too.

Whats your opinion Chapos? Anyone with any expertise in either fields that could give me some pointers?

It can be, or it can also be “Bob looked at porn on a work computer we need you to pull that up for HR”, and incident response, which is just “Goddamit that horny removed Bob plugged in a flash drive he found on the sidewalk labeled ‘Pern’ and now we need you to find out what happened”

HR are kinda the cops of the workplace tbh, not trying to flame you about it or anything just saying.
