My Life Plan sort of relies on me having at least minor success with independent games, to complement a shit, low paying job. If I can do that, I'll be happy. Yeah, success doesn't come easy- or often- to indie devs, but, damnit, I'm going to do it anyway.
Now, working for a large games company? The fact that "Work for Bethesda" is a running gag in my group aside, I can definitely see myself aiming for a job in the big leagues, regardless of income.
