Me: "hmmm I really would like to pursue a career in programming, game programming if possible. But I'm not great at creating habits or structure for myself which makes trying to teach entire subjects to myself or stick with a really long tutorial difficult. So I'll find a college that offers game programming or a game design/development degree that emphasizes programming!"

Every single guide on the internet when someone asks about game related degrees: "actually that's a waste of time and money and you should like. spend five years in front of your computer magically creating games from scratch via only youtube videos and incredible amounts of motivation"

#melon rambles #vent #I know that there are cheaper ways of doing this #heck even online colleges classes would be cheaper than the classes at this university I'm planning on transferring to #but like. I need someone that can give me assignments and some sense of direction and external accountability #and also I hate online classes with a burning passion so that's not happening #guides for game design colleges are either 'don't go to college for this' or 'here go to this college that's 60k dollars a year to attend!'#and I'm like I swear if I get recommended one more university that's in california or massechusets and costs the same as a house #I'm going to lose it.#I just want to be done with this whole having to pick out a college process #my plan was to apply to five colleges and the colleges that were on my list a month are completely different than what's on my list now #I keep thinking that my list is for sure this time and then I find out that actually this college won't transfer my credits #or their game design degree was completely different from what I thought it was #even though I could have sword I checked it before #I just ahghghgashfrdhasaaaassaaaaaaaaa #just give me a college that's not insanely overpriced and takes my credits and has a decent game programming or design degree!
