regarding making a ton of money in video games.. I worked for about a year with a guy who worked for EA Sports and actually did work on the Madden Football games.. he quit working for the private sector and got a civil service job because we has in his low 40's and already had a heart attack from the stress of working for EA Sports and he said everybody there pretty much just lived in their offices because the second they would go home, somebody new is knocking on the door wanting their job..
LOT of competition and a lot of stress, but not very much money because with so much competition,companies just didn't have to pay very much.. I'm not making video games, but now doing Virtual Reality sims, which is very similar and we use mostly the same software.. I LOVE doing it, but I also LOVE the fact that I'm civil service and don't have to worry about some young punk taking my job.. lol
