Hi people,

I'm about to attend computer science at university as a way to improve my skills and not necessarily go to work, hence I'm very confused about what to fully pursue.

It's already been two years since I've started learning 3D modeling/sculpting and have been paid for several freelance jobs. Hence, at this point, I lost the passion I initially had for it and I couldn't think of myself doing 3d modeling full-time, despite it being a well-paid career to get into.

Due to my retro gamer soul, I tend to appreciate a lot more pixel art and low poly models than the realistic assets I have to do for clients. The only issue is that making low poly pixel art assets isn't as requested as an AAA artist, or at least it seems like it. What do you think about it?

Also, I find it very hard to properly manage my time due to all the skills I'd like to learn, and oftentimes that leads me to depression and my brain is constantly busy processing what I'd have to do after.
What is your advice in regards to time management?

Thank you, have a wonderful day.

Maybe small companies, mobile development etc. have more jobs opportunities for who wants to focus on pixel art, 2d and low poly art. Of course big companies are searching constantly for artists highly skilled on realistic stuff, otherwise they wouldn't be called AAA for a reason  

In my opinion at the beginning is better to focus only on 1 single skill to develop if you want to find a job in the shortest time possible (if you want to work in a AAA company I mean). You can still practice your other passions as a hobby or develop these skills in the future.
