Hello.
First of all, thanks for caring to help another person.
People always Google a question and read the threads of others, but really it is humbling to watch as people personally answer your own.
So, I am seventeen years old, and currently in eleventh grade (BAC1).
I am confused between CS and GD because I seem to be have potential for both.
Many people have suggested I pursue a career in art, while most others have expected that I naturally "2a3mil shi bil" computer-field.
Also, these two majors have some overlap, especially in web design and gaming and such.
So, as netizens of Lebanon, what are your opinions?
Note: I am hoping to enter LAU, but that is only if I get financial aid and grants, and if the SAT scores turn out fine (ten days from now).
I imagine that if I become a programmer I will spend many hours a day, about half of them, over the keyboard, debugging and cursing.
As a graphic designer, however, I might spend them trying different variations of a photograph (which is also a part of photography), and sketching drawings on paper, and then using photoshop or illustrator to digitize the thing.
The real horror starts when one gets ignorant clients who make the job harder to do.
Both jobs have the potential to become nightmares, but really I think the second is at least fun.
I love programming, I do. I sometimes spend hours reading about a programming language.
I dabble with projects, occasionally. I've been this way since seventh grade.
With art, however, I am always active. At class I am always doodling, and my note books have been called "horror films".
If I have pen(cil) in my hand, and any semi-flat surface, I'll be doodling.
On my hands, even! Oddly enough, this started in seventh grade too, although both escalated exponentially then.
Note: Oddly, enough, I am also fond of creative writing. I love to read novels (and nonfiction articles, too) of all kinds, which is the third quirk people know me by. I jot down notes of almost everything that happens or I think about, and later expand upon in a diary at the end of day or week. I also write fantasy fiction, too, as a sort of practice for later (I seem to expect that I'll get published in my late twenties).
Anyway, I hope this made a fun read. It has enough information to make a judgement, I hope, and if it doesn't all you have to do is flip a coin! (Just don't tell me. I do it often when deciding important choices, but not this one as well!)
P.S. (lol where do all these ideas come from) I mentioned LAU because only today did I learn and decided that it is better than AUB. A field trip led us there on a tour, and I absolutely loved it. We had gone to AUB a month ago, but this was much more cozy. More informative. Less space, but more cozy. The dance club pretty much had me.
