I am 20 and have wanted to be a video game designer all my life. I thought I'd learn once I got to college, but now that I'm here I almost feel like it is too late. There are other people that know far more than me because, basically, I don't know anything. Without any prior knowledge of what it is really like, I cannot for the life of me take the risk of what I believe to be something I will fail at, or realize in the end that it isn't what I dreamed it to be. I'm currently trying to put the dream to rest, get a degree in radiation technology and come back for a masters in business management to attempt to be a manager at a hospital.
I find it hard to not decide what your going to do until last minute, I'm out of electives and required courses, so my next 3 years all have to stick to my major or else I'm wasting time and money.

I'm 20. I'll (hopefully) graduate this fall with a computer information science degree and then wanting to go into either web design or programming (or game design, but don't see that happening because of how hard it is to get a job in it). That's about it though. Dunno where I'll live (sure as hell do not want to stay in the bible belt), or anything else. Never been in a relationship either. But, in the meantime, I still get good laughs from all the people that say "well, I like playing video games, so I'm going to make them for a living" when they have no clue how frustratingly hard it actually is.
Can you share for 2 seconds on what it really means to try to get that job, so that I can try to move on?
