Course Dilema

My current course at uni is BENG computer science. I now have the choice of changing courses or moving on with computer science. I really don't know what to do. I have so many choices ahead of me.

My choices:

• BENG Computer Science
• MENG Computer Games Development
• BENG Software Engineering
• BSC Computing and Information Technology

So far I think I'll stick with Computer Science but a part of me wants to do Games Development. The other courses don't really interest me. For many years I had my heart set on games development until my mum got ill. Since games development is pretty much guaranteed to require you to move away for a job I was against it. After my mum passed I decided I wanted to see the world and with my avid love of games it was a perfect course. In fact the only reason I chose Computer Science was for me to transfer into games Dev in my second year. I never thought my heart would settle on computer science as much as it did due to a couple of reasons. Now my love of games that was pretty strong then has waned quite a bit. I do still love games but nowhere near the extent I did.

In terms of enjoyment I know I would enjoy games development so much more. The modules would be more suited to me and I would enjoy the application of C#/C++ on games so much more.

Though my main turn offs are the group project that you have to take and also the compulsory module of databases.

In terms of future employment, with a degree in game dev I would have a few opportunities in other software companies but I would be largely tied to the game sector. Considering one of my dreams is to work for Nintendo, Square Enix or Naughty Dog, perhaps that would be a good thing, lol. Computer Science would give me allot of opportunities around the world in almost any company :S

Its such a hard decision. Should I go with my head or my heart? Ugh!! Annoyingly my heart is divided too -_-
