Flawed College Studies

"Disclaimer: This content is purely based on my experience and reflect most of the thing that are in Quebec system, this may or may not apply to other school"

After almost 10 years out of school and nearly 7 years in a job I hate/bored with/unsatisfied, I have been searching to get back has a student to learn something more interesting and get a "better life" but now I feel like I am stuck. Because it been so long most of all the course I already taken before I dropped no longer can be applied and I have to restart almost to 0 all the college studies, so I searched through college to get which is call a specialized course, where you just do the specific course and not the other french/math/english/phylosophie you are forced through, but then I can hardly find college for the kind of course I am really looking forward.

After trying to find all the info I needed I have seen that there a big demand for the kind of studies I actually searching for but the big problem? There no course giving really directly in college, just a certain rare 2nd cycle university course. Although I found a college that are currently given the course I'm looking for but they ask to already have a college diploma, I understand you might need some weird un-neccessary high demand for such a course that anyway almost have a 100% chance to give a job after.

What is the big deal if for example a person like me has big trouble with a certain course or just don't care or just don't want to take all the hassle to complete that kind of course, with all the advancement in technology the shier number of people with other skills is there a big problem for someone with flaws in certain course that are no way related to the "job"

I have a big problem with french literature, I have a hard time getting around that course, because I'm not interested, find it really not fun and useless but I have a big big potential through the specific of the course I want, so you want down a maybe really great student because he doesn't want to "learn" literature? WTF? What are the computer and internet for? What are the other people around you that may have skill or that knowledge may interest in that domain? Really? Why is that all based around the individualist?

PS: I am sorry if this feel like a big rant but I had to vent of a little the rage inside me, thank for your understanding
PSS: For those who want to know I currently trying to find a course into Video Game Programming but can't find a thing other than the one mentioned

The big deal is that you're only paying them to take one or two classes a semester/quarter instead of paying for four or five.

Its like cable. They won't let you just choose the channels you want, because they won't make as much money that way.

In short; College is like Cable.

EDIT: Also, check out the Rochester Institute of Technology for their game design major. I went there my first two years of college. I left because it wasn't where I wanted to be, but it was an excellent school anyway.

Ok here more info on me
I am not sure I want to take the stressfullness its require to move out of the city, I don't want to leave all the small thing I just started to build here, like my social circle and such. I really need social and its somehow kinda hard for me to become ease to something I don't know and moving to a different country AND city is something you don't want to do so often. So either a way to do it "online" or in my actual city.
For you info I live in montreal

Also I am searching to get Programming course, not 3d animation or video game design. My easyness is in programming

Check into it anyway. I know they offer online classes, just not sure if you can get that particular degree with only online classes. It's worth a shot for sure.

Just remember though, being unhappy and having a chance to fix it is something you should always consider. Stepping out of your comfort zone to better your life is a worthwhile risk.

I understand sometimes you have to take risk but for me its a mental and emotional stability to stay in the "comfort zone", if I move away so far from all social and family stuff I don't want to crash and be really stressed for months
also the Rochester Institute of Technology don't offer any actual "Video game programming" just the development and design

The dev classes are the programming classes, if I recall correctly. I've got a buddy in the program. Their first project (three weeks into the course) was to remake minesweeper from scratch in either c++ or java (can't remember which).

I do understand you not wanting to move out of your comfort zone. It's what I did when I went to NY to attend RIT.

Yes I understand but it a big hassle to move from Canada to US, rebuild a credit history, find a random stupid job at the lowest salary, find new friend which is very hard, lose almost all contact with the current social and family you have. So that why mostly I don't want to move but if I move or will move is if its not too far from my actual city, like say move 2h away.
