You can play the xbox 360 any time. Depending on if your parents are paying for your degree, you only get the 1 chance. The degree will at least get you straight on the cash counter at mcdonalds
yeah but the more you grow, the less time and intrest you will have to play games, and i feel that whats left of time is not enough to get accepted so i thought maybe get my friend's 360 and play Airborn.
I'm PRETTY sure he was joking.QUOTE said:Screw qualifications. They are useless in later life. It's all about teh experience!!!!
No.
Qualifications are what will get a majority of people's foot in the door when they're gunning for that job they want. Most of the time you won't even be considered without that degree.
Of course you want experience also, but it is no means a replacement for the proper qualifications.
If you're having that much trouble getting motivated to study for your Masters, then maybe you aren't enjoying what you're learning or you aren't really into what you're working for? You need a long term goal here, something that you really want that will keep you going... If this isn't what you really want to do then maybe you should rethink what you're working for even. Find something you enjoy - something productive (not video games, 99% of the time.) Because if you're not liking it now, I can't imagine you'll be exactly happy whs en you get a job that is involved in the thing you are studying for (I could be wrong.)
I'm most interested in Software Engineering and i worked in the field before.
one of problems is that i dont have a long term goal, my long term goal was to learn Japanese and apply for Japan to work in Game Dev over there and then I found its near impossible and I stopped even learning Japanese (also this entrance exam made me stop it too).
Another problem is lack of motivation, in anything. I was so eager to study Software like 4 years ago but now, i dont feel like being eager toward anything. (i think thats partially important)
Why did you go for the Masters in the first place if you are not interested in completing it?
I studied Commerce at University and they asked me to apply to complete my Masters, I told them I wasn't interested as I felt the additional year studying wasn't going to add anything to my work application outside of University.
So in the end I only have a Bachelor's degree and it has suited me perfectly fine in my working life.
As said before, I'm gonna get accepted at entrace so i havent started it yet.
So how do you think getting Masters would affect your job/quality of life?

I haven't found this to be true. I had waaaaaaaay less time to play games in college than I did after I was in the working world. If free time and quality of life is so important to you then put the effort in now to make yourself really desirable to future employers, then when you hopefully get multiple job offers you can pick the one that offers the best quality of life. If you waste your education playing games now, you won't have those kind of options later.
Also, I think whenever a person finds themselves making these kinds of decisions they should really ask themselves. Is it really that I'm desperate to play these games or is it that I'm scared of trying to get my masters and want an easy way out. Make sure your being honest with yourself.
Finally, I guess software engineering is different where you are, but I have a lot of friends in the field in the US and the difference between a masters and a BFA tends to be about 20 thousand USD a year in additional pay. That's nothing to sneeze at.
