Oh and, can you recommend me any decent part time jobs? This shelf stacking isn’t very motivating at all.

Ahaha, genius.
A fork! In the road!

Well, my courses are quite varied, lots of discussions and essays... I enjoy it.
As for the degree, it is a varied one... it doesn't mean I'm going to be a historian like every moron thinks.
I'm looking at a Master of Science/Arts (not sure which yet) at Glasgow which looks alright. I'm looking at doing some post-graduate stuff, work in a charity (paid obviously) and teaching when I hit my 30s.
Just go for the game dev course and don't bother with A Levels.

Rubbish! It's a good solid career that.
Once you've built up 8 to 10 years of experience you can even look into getting a promotion to Deputy assistant shelf supervisor.
Admittedly it's no Head toilet cleaner, but you've got to start small.
Work hard and one day you'll have your own isle.
But you get a 3rd-year placement year, so you might get a job there when you actually finish the course, or otherwise you'll have a load of experience to use elsewhere - which is probably what counts more in the end.
So I'll have a good a chance as any, if not more, of getting a job in games when I graduate. That's all that matters, really. I want it ... I'll get it eventually.
If not, I'll probably have finished my book(s) by then - providing me with either a booster back into games, some interesting to do while I squat in other computer-related work looking to get back into games or perhaps, depending on how successful I am, letting me do feck all.
It's all good.
