Hi! 

The question in the title probably sounds very broad, so here are a few more informations about myself. I will be starting my undergraduate program in a few days. The program I am doing is a dual degree in business (B.S. of Economics, focused on entrepreneurship) and technology (B.S. of Engineering, focused on Networked Systems / Cloud Computing). If my scholarship somehow happens to cover a 5th year (which isnt the case right now), I'll be doing an accelerated M.S. as well. 

If I were to list the types of projects I'd be interested in doing, the list could get quite long, albeit it does get shortened by the irrationality of some of these ideas. The point of both of these informations:

1. I have quite a few "elective" classes at my University. These can be filled by a wide variety of interesting classes - Including a few classes about game design and development. 

2. One major interest of mine would still be to get into the industry and develop a game (More as an indie studio than a developer at a big company, however. As I said previously though, it isn't my only interest: which is why I'm unsure of what to do. 

Basically, my question is whether I should fill the majority of these electives with the game development related classes, or classes of a completely different nature. 

I know that I read somewhere that one doesn't have to study something related to games in order to break into the industry, but the descriptions of the classes do sound very interesting, so I am truly unsure of what to do. 

Another factor that may play a role is how I've "acted" the previous years; one may see from my previous posts that I've been interested in game making for a long time, but ALWAYS, without exception, fail at finishing a project of mine. At one point I just start heavily procrastinating until I get an idea for an entirely different project and drop the old one. I know that this is a habit that I will have to somehow drop regardless of the industry I will be getting myself into, but I thought that I'd just out it out here for more information. 

So, yeah - That's it. I'd really appreciate some advice :)! 

Thank you very much, and have a nice day. 

If you're interested in studying something, that is enough reason to study it.

You mention your scholarship. Having the money to pay for the classes is important.  In that case you need to prioritize.  You write you are focusing on a business degree, so those should be highest priority.  If you can get all your business courses completed and have room for classes outside your major, take the classes, but be careful that it doesn't harm your primary study. It will take time, so if you aren't getting A's in all your other central courses then you probably should spend your time on those, first.

Before you take classes outside what the degree requires, talk to your department's academic adviser. You might be better off by doing something called "auditing" the other classes. That can mean taking the class on a pass/fail basis, or where you attend but don't get a grade that affects your transcript.  This presents less risk to your GPA and the things that are more central to your academic progress.  Some schools charge different rates when auditing a class, which can also be a boon.

Keep in mind also that you can 'take classes' on the internet, watching or reading tutorials. This way, you can learn at a faster pace, and not that of the class. I learn better by doing, so I learned to program by making a game in Game Maker, learning from Youtube tutorials and message boards. If you want to learn a skill, this is good. If you want to do something in game dev where a degree is more important, then I'd recommed school classes.
