My housemate Sam (who is in California currently doing an internship) recently told me he was offered a job from EA. One of those dream jobs that little boys dream of as a game designer. He has to make a decision of whether he should return to Pittsburgh to finish his degree or stay out in California to start a new job, a new life. In both cases, he\\’s losing something. He won\\’t be guaranteed a job at EA if he returns to CMU and could be completely jobless. Of course, if he went to California, he would lose the opportunity for better jobs and lose a chance for a better education. And of course, he wouldn\\’t be close to his girlfriend and his family located in New York.<\/p>\n
It\\’s decisions like these that make me wonder what I really want to do in life. I love HCI. Pretty much all of it. Working in teams to produce something that could better someone\\’s life almost stealthy. Yet, sometimes I wonder if that\\’s enough. I want to be someone who can create something that really touches people\\’s emotions. I want to help people think differently and understand things. A writer. A screenwriter. An artist. Every time I attend a concert, I have this slight envy overcome me. I want to be the one on stage that can make people believe in things they never believed, feel emotions that they don\\’t normally feel. That kind of power attracts me.<\/p>\n
Writing comes naturally to me (as well as all my deep thinking). And I wonder who I would be today if it wasn\\’t for that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
