My Career

I have been thinking about my career recently and I cannot think what to do. I am nearing the end of my last year of school, and then moving on to college. But what I am stuck on is what courses to take and which college to go to. My only real career I can see myself enjoying is animation, but the major flaw in that path is that I cannot draw at all.

Last night I had the idea in my head of some sort of anti-emu, but today when trying to get my ideas down on to paper I was hit by the fact that I cannot draw an emu, never mind an anti-emu. I have dabbled in a bit of animation over the past two years, I have plenty of characters in my head, but it is really impossible for me to make anything half decent because I can’t draw a thing.

I would really like to be an animator, but the only job I could really get would be a worker bee doing the animating for the person who has the ideas. I have many ideas, but if I cannot draw how far can I get. I used to be very interested in science, but the Bunsen flame which once burned inside me has died and my interests have moved over to the virtual word. It is not far off until I need to figure out which college I want to go to, I want to take a course in animating, get some qualifications to show I am more than competent in using a computer, and go down a computer based career.

So I need to find a collage with a decent animation course, hopefully that task will be easy, but to go through the course without any issues will not be easy for me. I want a career which I will enjoy, where I can walk from home if I choose to and one where I can vent my ideas.
