I'd certainly like to get a game out there, but I wouldn't want to make it a career. AAA games deal with business and industry bullcrap, and unless I'm a high-profile director, my vision would be lost in it all. Indie games would be the solution to that, but doing it for a day job wouldn't be much of a money-maker.

I'd like to if I didn't know about how terrible the working conditions are

 

I'll probably still end up doing it, since that's what my education is geared towards, but bleagh

If you mean a job that's like what the guys at Rooster Teeth/Achievement Hunter have then yes I would love to have that kind of job (as a matter of fact work with those guys).  If you mean a job in making video games no I would not like that

Concept artist?

All I have to say is

firetruck YEAH.

In all seriousness though, I want to create games in order to help other people cope with their lives. KH had such an impact on me that I want to create the same thing for other people. I want to create beautiful worlds and characters that add that magic to life that other people forget. We grow up and life becomes a dull repetition of everyday things like going to work and sleep. People forget that magic. I want to create games to help people remember that magic and be happier in life.

I never really thought about it because i am not confident enough to try. People even have told me i should try but I don't want because i want a "save income" in my future or at least a job where i can earn money to live. But I guess if i would have some talent for it nothing would hold me to try it but how things are now i rather search for something else but maybe i end up working indirectly with games (marketing or something like that).

Not particularly. I'm always of the opinion that work and play should be separate. I feel like my enjoyment for video games would diminish if I worked on them; ignorance is bliss, etc.

 

I wouldn't say no, of course, but I don't have any sort of technical skill, so it would likely be in the creative or administrative sides. I have some friends who are getting into the dev scene, so I can experience it vicariously through them =P.

Tried the coding aspect of it at college and it really wasn't something I could get to grips with. I'd love to work on games but I think I'd be best at maybe the design aspect from a visual point of view.
