I wanted to be a game developer for as long as I could remember. I remember passing out on the carpet floor because I needed a quick nap inbetween coding sessions when I was 15.

I went through uni for comp sci and graduated and got a few offers. All the gaming companies (some really big names) I got offers with paid half as much as the others. I decided my dream wasn't worth it, it's weird.
