Bachelor of Arts: a light at the end of the academic tunnel

After being somewhat occupied with my university studies of the major of folklore at Helsinki University the whole autumn, completing my degree is quite near. I am worn out  all the way to my bones, but have a vibrant sensation of happiness about it: Being a Bachelor of Arts is only one half written final thesis away. With the current progress rate, it strongly looks like the thesis will be out this spring.

After the degree is complete, giving it a lot of thought, I have decided not to pursue the university studies any further. As much as I value and respect the academic world, I have come to understood my own nature is more of an artisan´s; there just isn´t a greater joy than making things from a scratch. Therefore, after this thesis, I feel it´s time for me to pursue being the best damn 3D professional I can be, day and night, no excuses.

Running two higher education degrees simultaneously is no light task and I do not recommend anyone trying it (ironically, that is exactly what was told to me.)  My other degree,Bachelor of Media (from Metropolia), was completed spring 2012, consisting of 240 credits. Bachelor of Arts from Helsinki University will consist of 180 credits. With both of these chapters in my life rightfully cleared, I feel really good about seeking permanent migration to working life.
