For me, the path has been to start at a web developer, then building up more and more advanced skills to end up in making browser-based games as a profession. Perhaps my skills and end results wouldn’t be very impressive compared to a more hardcore real gam dev, but it the salary and benefits are well on par with a regular job and I get to do fun things at work. I recommend going down this path as a front end engineer.
