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.

Seconded.
Journalism - writing articles, persuasive pieces, exciting accounts, etc - can actually be very creative and good fun.

Do that, that's what I'm doing, and I rule - I work for the UK's 'biggest' games company.
A course in journalism, at least a good one, should set you up with everything you need to break into the writing industry. Creative writing is for homos and ladyboys.

kyle you could always become a hooker... you'd only have to work nights which would leave you with the day to express your creative side! ;-)

At the "University of East London" ? That was the only one of the UCAS website I saw that did the course. There wasnt an awful lot of information about the course given though; if you know much about what the course entails I'd like to hear a bit more.

I dont know which university I'd like to go to, it depends on which course I settle on to be honest. I've not decided if I want to up and leave and go somewhere far away, or stay relatively close to home (leeds).
