    I've been working in the gaming industry for 5 years and have been a GM for more than 2 years now. I joined a company for a game I played a lot back then and was lucky enough to work on that game until recently. It's an incredible experience but it also breaks a lot of the hopes and ideas you might have.

    You will see that:

    1. The influence you have is more limited than you hope
    2. The game will not be the same for you when you work on it 8+ hours a day - it WILL influence your gaming experience, believe me
    3. Working in gaming is not all fun, be ready for A LOT of overtime, often unpaid
    4. Wage in the industry usually sucks

    However, I wish you the best of luck, though. A colleague of mine applied for their EU office a while ago and had several years as GM on his back. He was rejected for a lack of experience.
