I second this sentiment. I did my BSc Soft. Eng. between 1999 and 2004. At the time I wanted so bad to get into game development. Being myself from a third world country there was no clear path to that. More or less at the same time, the infamous "EA Spouses" scandal broke, and after giving a good look at the industry I decided against it.
17 years later, I don't regret my decision at all. I'm at the top of my career, earning a USD salary, (around $150k USD) living in my third world country with great benefits and developing exciting things (fintech, crypto, etc). I still sometimes doodle around with Unity some weekends, for entertainment purposes
