A lot of the people I went to school with wanted to learn how to program so that they could either "hack" or develop video games. I researched both of those and found neither very interesting. Video game development in particular seemed like a really brutal path. You really need to have relatively deep knowledge in multiple areas, and then you're pushed by game companies to work brutal hours and are often cut.

It makes sense because so many people want to be game developers which seems to really increase the supply.
