But why should you limit yourself?

Because Specialisation is the name of the game. Jack of All Trades, Master of None.

You can learn to appreciate other trades and how they affect your main specialisation, but we aren't living the Renaissance any more and nobody is like Leonardo Da Vinci. It's beyond critical to have a focus and be DAMN good at that focus so you stand out and can get somewhere in your prospective industry.

Graphic Design is well appreciated by the other two, but it's so rare for Games and Movies to see eye-to-eye, and video games already have about a million positions that are also highly specialised. I would absolutely not recommend anybody to go a games course, but instead take a course in which ever pathway you desire most (like a Programming or Graphic Design course).

Look at me. I'm currently doing a double-major in Mechanical Engineering and Music Composition. Off to the side, I'm acting and doing crew in shows, learning to draw cartoons and teaching myself to brown townyze things critically; mainly film, video games, and politics. My goal is to combine all of that into a multi-faceted career in the cartoon/film industry. If I can combine all of that, then I don't see why you can't.

christ... that double major sounds insane, you must have a hell of a work ethic. that's a very cool and ambitious goal though. good luck to you. If you've got any original recordings of your compositions I would love to hear them : o )
