Hi,
I'm new to this website so i don't know how many times this question has been asked or anything. Anyway, I'm 16 and spend my time outside studying playing games. I probably put in 5 hours each week day and then 8 or 9 on weekends. I have been pushed into becoming a dentist or a doctor but recently i realized how bigger part gaming is on my life. It's something i really want to do on a more serious level but i haven't taken any lessons which would help towards getting there. I haven't done art, i haven't done IT. I guess that kinda kicks me back a bit. Reason why i'm asking is due to me being young and i can claw my way back by taking some IT courses in Sixth Form (I'm from UK) and then other courses in University or something. It's just something i was wondering about. I think my ideal job would be testing games and playing games. I could probably find a way to take a course in writing video games and coding them etc. I used to think money was everything, hence doctor and dentist but now i just don't see a point in becoming something you're heart isn't in, why i chose to look into gaming.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
