I got a job offer and I want to drop out of Computer Science
I'm an artist who does game packs, character design and animation and stuff. I'm not exceptional at all but where I live the market for game makers is new and looking for talent, so I got this job contract for a game, it's not that much but it will have my name out there. I've been enjoying designing/illustrating locally for uni and other business for VERY cheap, and it made me think I can make art my work.
More on school, since I started cs I've been miserable baraly passing, drawing less and getting shamed looks by everyone. In short I'm not making it in cs. I really thought loving game dev = loving cs, maybe it's the high education way of teaching that doesn't work for me, I really can't do another physics Quiz.
So should I put a halt to working in game dev and focus on getting the cs degree, or should I follow my passion and work in design/illustration by dropping out?. I'm not worried about rent and I'm not getting kicked for all the westerners out there, just will be judged. Many might say I'm blessed and ungrateful, but I feel just because I got it better doesn't mean it should work, uni isn't for all some of us are very "smart in other ways".
