Internships exist, but they are always quickly inundated with a massive swath of applicants. There are certifications and classes, but there aren’t many other intermediate steps – you’re either making games or you’re not. Many of us remained idealists, but it only takes a quick Google search to ascertain that game design is a complicated, specialized and highly selective field. I found that by the time I hit high school, my peers were already more skeptical of their ability to “make it” in the world doing what they love. I have no idea whether any of these elementary school classmates went on to become involved in making games. On playgrounds as a kid, whenever someone asked, “What do you want to be when you grow up?,” several children would invariably reply, “I want to make video games.” Of course they did – who wouldn’t want to have firsthand involvement in one of their favorite hobbies?
