When I was in high school I wanted to be a game developer. I loved playing video games at the time ( late 90's), why not get paid to make them as well! Then I read an article in Next Generation that discussed the games industry and then that dream vanished. After reading about crazy deadlines where husbands didn't come home for weeks and couples having conjugal visits in the office I decided that wasn't for me. Sounds like a lot hasn't changed in the past 20 years.
