What's your career choice?

I have finish filling out a college application for Penn State and all I have to do is send it. By this time in life, I'm really suppose to have made a career choice. I went with software engineering on my application as my career choice, but I'm not precisely sure if that's a good career choice. Sometimes I feel ambitious and I want to be a politician. Other times, I want to be an actor (fat chance, given that I live a little town).
Anyway, what's your career choice? Maybe you guys can give me some ideas.

Plan A: Stay at uni, doing physics part time, also building my portfolio for games companies. After a year, maybe 2... get a job invloved with graphic design. Long term, find a job using my art skills and computer modelling/texturing. Settle down, fall in love, get married, die.

Plan B: fail at everything, including art, and go mad. Kill all my friends and exgf's, go to South America, protect the forests and peoples. Become a psycho ECOTERRORIST... u goddamn mo fo's.

Says Penn State's application form, which states that you will have a higher chance of getting in if you state a major.

A desperate disease requires a dangerous remedy.

A major source of objection to a free economy is precisely that it gives people what they want instead of what a particular group thinks they ought to want. Underlying most arguments against the free market is a lack of belief in freedom itself.
