I'm your super senior but I went from FCM to FIT instead.

Alpha FCM -> Digital Media -> BIT Multimedia Systems

Because I love programming more than I love drawing.

How good are you with drawing on paper?

Hmm you wont be thought how to draw, that you have to learn yourself - you'll be expected to come up with a lot of pencil sketches. Like a LOT of pencil sketches.

If you're taking PTPTN,FCM graduates typically earn lesser than Software Engineering grads, so it will be a big pain in your butt when you wanna buy your car, house etc later.

You do know that photoshop is not even 5% of FCM courses right?

Yes. Film & Animation consists of a lot of 3D modelling and animation using Autodesk Maya.

FA, not many animation house in Malaysia. A lot of FCM students end up doing other things. Job opportunity a lot better if you do programming.
