How could I combine my technical/scientific and "creative" interests?

Asked by marabu (30points) July 9th, 2007

Ok, longest details coming:

I went to a technical highschool specialising in computers/networks/programming etc., and after that I took a semester of physics in uni which I didn't like. I know study econologic engineering which I find very interesting.

The only problem is: Speaking from now work experience I know that I don't want to work as an engineer.

I have the lingering feeling that in a situation where I could choose between a creative education and a technical one I chose (I guess also against my gut) the technical one because I'm from a family where everyone has a scientific/technical background, and so my mind says that anything Arts/Humanities-related won't get me a job and is therefore relatively useless.

But as I'm working in the field for the summer I realise that I can't do that for my whole life, or.. a year.. and I wan't to persuade a more creative field.. (after finishing my current studies of course. no rush decisions for me..)
I'm kinda worried that my CV looks like that of someone who can't decide what to do with her life (which, of course, wouldn't be thaaat wrong..)

So, for all of you who are still reading ;): Is there someone who expirienced that, or has a idea how to combine those educations (also of course.. interests)?
