Me : Designer?

The kind of designer I see that I will be is most likely a character designer. I've always been into manga and anime, and I've designed my own original characters and plots. They're mostly fun side projects, but when I work on them, I've never felt so serious and alive about anything else in my life. Especially when you create complex, convoluted yet beautiful crafted characters and the rest of the world mostly responds well to your design, fulfilling your self desires would never feel so good. I'm not a graphic person because I'm very touchy feely and too artistic and I'm also not a 3D designer person because I feel this special connection I have with the arts only with 2D.

In five years, which will be in 2019, which is when I will turn 21 and wow I'm getting older, I have three options: to be either enrolled for a higher degree in animating, enrolled to get myself a teaching degree, or get a full time job, which may or may not be in my desired industry of animation. The first option will be something that I only take if I believe my skills have grown to a level I deem acceptable to pursue a full time career in the industry, the second option if my -kind of secret- dream to become a teacher is still something I seriously wish to pursue, and the third option is only when I realize I STILL can't create anything good and just pursue my dreams as a part time job.
