What do you think of me only pursuing my current degree because of a video game character?
Are you unhappy with your choice?
Yes, I prefer something more challenging and less tedious.
Wanting to follow in someone's footsteps is understandable, but you should take life decisions more seriously. Trying to be like a video game character is unwise because they are an imaginary take on a subject which likely only represent the positive things about a subject. You may be jumping into something where you didn't fully consider the good and bad things about a career field.
I'm hoping that I get to live in Skyrim once I graduate.
It's important that you separate reality from fiction when it comes to your life choices. You aren't living in a video game so you can't expect to relate to the character in the real world. Your degree should be based on real world goals that you can develop.
