Hello, I want to introduce myself first. I'm a 14 year old (pretty young) guy who wants to do what I want and earn a living for doing it. I'm unfortunately born in a poor country which is the Philippines.

I started having interest in games when I was 4 years old. No one in our family likes gaming as much as I do. I discovered gaming after getting my first console. My mom didn't bought me something like a PC, XBOX , or a PlayStation. My first console is a NES where I first played Super Mario, Bomberman, and obviously Duck Hunt. As years pass by I can consider myself a casual gamer. I once got too much addiction on gaming and ends up playing 2-3 days straight. After playing that long I felt really bad and got myself a restriction to gaming whereas I'm only allowed to play games for 5 hours in a day. I lose interest in playing MMORPG because of that but I never lost my hate to FPS because I suck init.

When I reached high school I became more aware of my health and felt like doing something productive so I studied taekwondo (martial arts), practiced drawing alot I even got myself a junk Genius Graphic Tablet which is the worst so I end up drawing on papers and now I'm learning html. I feel alot better now I still practice drawing but I quited taekwondo. One day I felt like html is fun and decided that I should just continue more and try to know how C++ works. I started learning html to improve my site which is http://leogamingblogs.blogspot.com. Now I know a little bit about Java and Flash but I want to reach a whole new level and do this to earn my living when I grow up.

So this are my questions:

*Can I work on other country where I can received good salary as a game programmer even If I will go to college in the Philippines?
- I think Philippine Education is nothing if you compare it to other University on more developed countries. I feel like the fact that I came and studied in the Philippines will have an impact on the way companies will think of my skills.

*Should I just give up and find something new?

*What college course do I need to take? ( What if I just try and learn from books and tutorials.)

*Why does games from our country doesn't go well?
-Is it because of our Education, Our ideas are not that great, or We just don't have the skill. I'm aware that most of us doesn't want to pay for our games so games that only us can relate to doesn't go as successful as the other games.

P.S I titled it "A Question" because I didn't really plan on asking more than 1 question.
