DesertEagle,
Stick to scrore is only basic. I think basics are often boring, but essential and necessary anyway, and most people only appreciate it later.
Passion is only the beginning even if you want to do creative work. Creative work jobs requires just as much or perhaps even more discilpine than most of the routine kind of jobs or professional jobs, sometimes even got to unlearn, sometimes your creativity may only last 2 productions/projects. That's besides all the personal risks you are staking for not taking the conventional path.
You will need a lot of depth of knowledge, discipline, eye for detail, strong desire for perfection to craft successful product that _sells_.
An old senior once told me: "In life, you got to anticipate, not everything can be taught, if you make 10 decisions, all fail to make it successfully, then I have nothing to say. You have to develop your judgement, circumstances change all the time."
You got to evaluate yourself and your strengths, your skills, your passion, decide, make a judgement and place a bet and make your own life portfolio. In fact, all the students who enter university place a bet in their life, bcos once they graduate, the job market and their industry market may change bcos the economic cycle is cycling so fast these days. Some people once they graduate choose to do something totally different from what they study. They are some who had worked 8 years down the road in the same field and then decided to do something different, so it's still quite important to know where your passion is.
I would say choosing to study Engineering or Business or Accounting/Finance is always a safe bet for most people in Singapore.
