I don't think it's a good comparison. There's literally one job opening for US President every 4 years. Ubisoft alone hires thousands of people per year. I believe there are lots of people who have a strong desire to get into the game industry and will accept low pay, miserable work environments and uninteresting assignments to "get their foot in the door" because building games is a "dream job" to many young people going into software development. Little do they realize that there aren't very many people who get to single-handedly invent and code up the next big game hit. They're going to spend approximately 0% of their time creating kick-ass gameplay and awesome pixel shaders, and almost all of their time doing something mundane like being the expert on the "loading..." screen or figuring out why the menu animations glitch in this one weird scenario.
