I'm not one to seek advice from strangers but I really need some help making up my mind here.

I'm not sure what course to do at university - I can take one of two routes, which are:

1. Journalism

2. Creative writing / Script writing

I feel more inclined towards the second category as I feel I woudld enjoy it more, though I think it is probably a harder area to get into and harder to find work in, whilst journalism can apply to papers, magazines and e-zines, all which pay decent wages.

I know everything isnt about money, though I'd like to have the security of knowing a job would be easily availible.

Give me some advice, please.

I think you should go with option 13: Gay Porn Actor.

Go into journalism, you'll never make it as a creative writer, don't kid yourself.

Come on, seriously now. You can write a few short stories and that's about it. Hardly anyone likes them, they're not even that good. You'd just be pushed out more crap into a world already overfull with crappy crap. Look somewhere else.

Also, learn to follow your heart, and not what people tell you to do. Trust me on that. Money is no security compared to your faith in yourself.

If you want to work for the media - and be part of all that makes everything so-wrong with the world today - then, by all means, go with option one.

However, if you'd rather go your own way to express yourself more and perhaps even write your own books, go with option number two.


If I were you, I'd go with 2, anyway. :)

We get to ruin Ky's future? Awesome, its like the Diceman, only completely different.

(I'd choose 2 - you only live once)

Journolism

Then if you feel you want to boost your abilities further after that, take script writing.
