Ultimately I'd like to get a job as a video game concept artist, as I like video games and drawing. However, it seems pretty tough to get a job in, and art school is probably going to end up costing a pretty sum, even looking at TAD which looks promising. The bachelor's in CS will be free here in Denmark, so I'll then use that to get a job as a programmer and save up some money for art school, and then I'll have something to fall back onto if art school doesn't work out and which can work as another way into the games industry.
Related to future plans, I also like the idea of donating 10% of income to charity.
Why is a BS in CS free in Denmark?
There are lots of countries around the world that offer publically-funded university-level education.
Which countries? If I immigrated, would I be eligible?
Wikipedia is your friend: Public University
And I hope I'm not expected to know by heart the educational systems and immigration policies of all the countries in the world? I'd expect most publicly-funded universities would be for citizens' (or atleast permanent residents') children, as it's those people that pay the taxes that fund the university.
But that's the sort of subject that you should investigate yourself, not take my word (and guesswork) for it.
