Well, I love computer programming. I love to think me working in a game industry. So I´d like to work in a game industry. But I am 30 years old. I think I am old to work in game industry. What do you think? I studying Computer Degree. I finished it when I will be 34 years old. But I see young men begining when they are 12 years old. I stay very sad because of that. They begin so earlier. I think I am so old to work in a game industry What do you think about that?

I''m 35 but I started when I was 12 :-) (more like 10, actually)

It takes dedication, smarts and an ability to get results. That''s all it takes.

Note that some companies are more family friendly than others. 18-hour work days don''t matter when you''re 24 and stupid about those things. It certainly does when you have a wife, children, and what most people call "a life." Accept 12 hours during crunch, and 9 hours normally; no more. Anything more will burn you out, anyway, which way nobody wins.
