My guiding question was: How can games and interactive media effect the way mental illnesses are treated?
My overall goal in my education has not changed. I still want to have an effect on the world by fining an answer to this question. On the other hand my skills and experiences have made me realize that getting a start in game design might not be the best path I have available. I feel that starting my career working in the software engineering industry.
I feel very prepared to live and work in the post college life as a software developer but not as an emerging game developer. The life path I have ahead of me could get me back on creating games later in my career but right now I need to do what will get me growing, learning and making money faster.
