Graduation ... Now What?

So I'm here trying to figure out what I really want to do in the industry. I want to be a technical artist, but because of the structure at the school that I am currently attending I have become a strong game play programmer.

The Pro's of becoming a Technical Artist are....
  • You get to work with lots of people and is not confined to one project
  • You architect code that hasn't been done before
  • Creativity is a possibility
  • You learn the way tools are created and you learn to understand the flaws of most of the tools that you used in your education.
The Pro's of becoming a Gameplay Programmer are....
  • I have been doing it for a while
  • I get to learn more about Artificial Intelligence
  • I get to work with some hardcore programmers that I know are probably better than me
  • I also get to develop my programming skills as a whole..

I am still weighing out the pro's of each but for now I am leaning towards being a technical artist... 7 weeks and counting.. Pray for me :)
