I have been at this college thing for officially five years. I realized recently that I need to understand the purpose of each kind of education and each tier of academic distinction. Towards this end, I have been accumulating data on what I want to do while I am at school and after. Much of my recent efforts from the past year on are a result of this focus on discovering objectives. I have a few notable interests that I would like to actively and critically pursue in the next five to twenty years.
They are:

• Study abroad.
• Produce original research utilizing many medias about my choice medias.
• Become involved with the artificial intelligence, cybernetic, artificial life, robotics, and game studies communities as a peer.
• Start an entertainment development business. We would produce and possibly even publish (in-house) books, video games, short and feature length animation, music and graphics.
• Experiment with, design and develop games. Particularly, I would like to work with titles involving edutainment, personal and social discovery.
• Teach, lecture, and maintain life-time scholarship (be a student and a teacher at the same time or in juxtaposed sequences).
• Start an experimental school and/or community. Focused on team/interdependent-based education, parenting, scholarship research.
• Participate in the design and development of artificial life forms, and bionics.

Here's what I need and what I believe will benefit Hypography's current and future membership, how does one search for programs and schools that offer the kinds of learning and degrees you want? We can start in America but I would like to know how one searches world-wide. At current, I am signed up at fast web and another college search site; however, they only search my local country and I want to see what the world has to offer me.

I'm looking first for a Ph.D.* program that I am interested and from there I am going to use back planning to figure out where I need to go and what I need to major in.

*Assuming that a Ph.D. education would benefit me rather than alternatives such as professional certification.
