Personally, I would NEVER want to program games. It really takes someone special to do that...to have a special love for the field. Otherwise, why would they:
1) put their lives and savings and financial backing on the line, hoping that a title will "sell" no matter how wild the likelihood of that is
2) produce a work of art that no matter how great it is, someone somewhere is going to be complaining about it
3) never really get to enjoy the fruits of their efforts, since 99% of the intake of one good seller goes to finance the next projects in line?
Just a few points...but remember, you REALLY have to love what you're doing with game design and development. It's like producing a movie...it's a deal of the deck.
