    I’m making solidly twice what I could as a game dev right now and the hours and benefits eclipse anything I’ve heard of in a game studio. Still though games is all I’ve ever wanted to do so I’m strongly looking into dropping my savings into college again brush up on what I need and hit the industry stumbling. I don’t know what it is about making games even in my thirties now I’m still starry eyed about it

      You could always make games as a hobby, best of both worlds. Here’s a great little tutorial site on getting started with a small indie game. If it really is your passion, treat it as such. Keep getting your decent paycheck and make something interesting on the side.
