I tried to get into game development once, but the amount of workarounds that you have to do when scripting makes me go mad. I'm used to a more structured approach of programming when I got into game development there's so much that can be basically called hacks my mind just imploded.

Well, I learned programming through game dev, and haven't really entered the world of programming outside yet... so I'm scared of what's to come when I start my CS degree haha

Get a game development degree in Colorado instead! It's like CS but with less math and more programming projects.

Game development is harder than most programming jobs.
