It doesn't matter how hard it is, if that's what you want to do. Just
go for it if that's where your passions lie.

No. Absolutely not. Interesting that you didn't ask how hard THAT is!
(Hint: that's MUCH harder, since nobody will hire your company if you
don't have job experience.) Read article 29 on my site
(www.sloperama.com/advice.html).

OK, so it's not easy to break in. But you have to persevere. And you
have to make demos, and you have to just do it. Nobody'll pay you now,
but you should be programming stuff anyway. Find some modders or
something, build a ****tfolio. And read articles 24 and 27. Good luck!
Cheers,
Tom
