Uni course

so i currently study film and tv extended diploma. In the future i would love to be a film or tv writer and an editor, as i enjoy scriptwriting and editing on adboe. However, i also have a keen interest for computer science and a lot of entry level jobs in this field can be both rewarding and well paying. I am unsure about what to study at uni but i am leaning towards comiputer science as a degree in film may not always be seen as a requirement. Can anyone offer some adviec on what i should do? thanks

I normally recommend people to go for the subject they have the most interest in. However, as you don't know what you want to do, I would recommend going for the degree with the stricter requirement i.e. computer science.

You can always become a film writer and editor without a degree (or a degree in any subject). People in tech tend to be pickier with their graduates (even though I can sometimes say you can get by with professional certificates in IT as well).

With a degree in CS, you have the option to go into both sectors should you wish (or rather change careers at some point). With a degree in film, you're more limited in your options.

If you really want to push it, you can try out screenwriting or directing whilst you're at uni as part of a club/society (they do that there).

thank you for thew advice that is very helpful. in terms of computer sceince degrees do companies and employers prefere the standard CS degree or would doing cyber decurity or business computer gain me similar access to employab9ility as they cover a lot of the same modules, especially cyber secrutiy
