Question: computer careers: should i study computer information systems, graphic design, or 3d animation?

Rainy:The pictures have nothing to do with the content!!
I want a secure job in computers if there are any. most importantly to me are security and a fair wage and something that is a little creative. my college offers computer info systems, graphic arts (1 year there 1 year at another school) focuses on printing not design unfortunately (although i can get a ba in interdisciplinary studies where i can pick classes around what i want to go into) or yet another school offers 3d animation. i have also considered health information technology at a different school all together. i have like 38 usable credits in a music major i dropped out of. i just dont want a useless degree. i could see myself doing design web graphics ( i have a vivid imagination) but i dont want an 80 hour a week job and i dont want to free lance i need benefits and steady income please any suggestions for career advice i desperately want to get the ball rolling. im pretty decent with computers and a fast typist. all suggestions welcome thank you very much

It would be worth investigating the printing technologies (graphic arts) study because most of the high-end printing is very computer driven, and there is also the potential of getting involved in the production aspect of preparing design work for print. There are lots of job possibilities in this field. Go to www.gain.net which is the Graphic Arts Information Network. They have a section for students which contains career information.
Printers and production people work very closely with the designers. They have to be precise and detail-oriented but it is not considered the creative side of the industry. That would be the graphic designers. However, designers often work long hours (although this varies dramatically from one position and company to the next.) The production people are generally on a set schedule.
If you want to consider the creative side, go to www.aiga.org for more information. I’d recommend a good graphic design program rather than a focus on strictly web design because your education will be broader and will prepare you for a wide range of design careers.
Good luck!
