I would consider myself a jack of 11 or 12 trades (hope to be all someday)
I can play piano decently
program video games
design websites
know the basics of Japanese
have a hobby for vegetable gardening
own 2 milk goats
write short story's and poems
study the Bible
read fanatically

I like too say, if you can't get a job, just do a bunch of them.

on the "decision paralysis"
i find that having soo many options just a touch away allows me too keep life fresh
and exciting, i don't have too stick to programming games 8 hours a day, i could just spend an hour on each thing, eventually, ill have.

a base of high quality games bringing in continual income
all the goat milk i could ever drink
a decent vegetable garden
occasional jobs designing company websites and fansites
a collection of short poems and storys I can get published
and a lot more knowledge on other things I would like to learn

And guess what? I’m failing at both A and B.

In videogame companies, they say my art skills aren’t good enough, despite my education as a designer, while in design agencies, they say my drawings are awesome, but I’m not what they’re looking for.

Personally, I would invest all I have in the videogame path (in the 2D and even 3D part), but I can’t because of disorganization of schedules, and investment already done with college projects, and in Design, where they care about being able to draw, but never the type I’m used to.
If I invest more in Design, for the sake of having more stable job opportunities, then I’ll barely have the time to construct a decent portfolio for the video games’ side.

… Bah. It’s worthless to be multi-talented. Or work like hell for your course degree when they care more about the quality of your portfolio in the video games’ industry, not how high were your grades.
