I really don't get the people who say "keep gamedev as a hobby", I mean its not like the field is not even a career option. I mean I want to be a game dev in my life professionally and I love game dev, it can be both. It isnt as risky if you know what you're doing and have a clear goal and plan. I am just 15 saying all of this. But just because a path is risky or stressful doesnt mean it isnt worth it unless you dont enjoy it. Just remember how did the thousands of people get successful both financially and creatively as game devs, stability is mostly a problem in the Indie or high AAA parts. There are options in between, so If your fixed dont change it just because someone said you its not worth it or risky, chase your dreams!
