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.

I plan on being a video game concept artist as well. I am in the process of getting a degree in graphic design, which is a larger umbrella than the pure art that is required in order to be a concept artist. I figure I will work in whatever job I can find in graphics, meanwhile trying to get my name out there. I figure I'll also do commissions work and that kind of thing. If you ever have any questions about illustrator/Photoshop or any of that in general, feel free to pm me.
