Alright, these are the ideas that I have in mind for a career:

1.) Game Programmer
2.) Author
3.) Artist

Pros/Cons with No. 1:
Pros: Could make it to the top and be the next John Carmack.
A lot of money and a very cool industry to be in.
Cons: Takes a lot of reading and the understanding of math and complicated algorithm.
Experience is needed.
Likely to fail.

Pros/Cons with No. 2:
Pros: Express my ideas and philosophical views.
Choose to be completely reclusive and away from the world.
Cons: Need great ideas.
Need experience in writing.
A hot ticket is likely the only way to get in.

Pros/Cons with No. 3:
Pros: Express my ideas and dark mind.
Could also be cut off from the world.
Cons: Need great ideas and original work.
Need to be talented.

Now, these are my three choices that I've had in mind. I'm really eager to find the one I love and go towards so I can stop lollygagging around and start to work on something. Some things about me would be that I'm extremely and have always been depressed. I hate verbally talking to people. I can't stand the world and its filth. I'm just a miserable kid who's read too many horror novels and watched too many movies. Since my friends tried to change me I turned on them and I now hate them; I'm all alone. I don't mind being depressed. I don't believe I have the right to be happy. Programming is very difficult for me since I'm not very clear minded but I figured it was the only career in the game industry that didn't need pure talent; a trade that could be taught. I'd die to be working in the industry, especially God's like the people at id Software, they're the real inspiration for me.

Give me your opinion on what I should do.
