Senior Software Engineer in the Payment Processing Industry (Credit/Debit card terminals).
University education was pretty relevant to the career I now have, did a Degree in Informations Systems Development and a Masters in Software.
Most of my career has been working in the Financial Industry, and I enjoy it.
When choosing your University education, don't pick something just because you heard there's money in it. I've seen plenty of people waste 4/7 years of their life studying and working in the wrong industry.
Try to pick something you have an interest in, but be careful you don't pick something on the opposite end of the spectrum, e.g. a profession that's all fun and no money.
If you are considering a career in systems development, I think someone with balanced creativity and logic skills usually turns out to be the sort that enjoys such a career. You need creativity to consider the usability, maintainability and extensibility of a business system.
If you're more logic oriented, Software development on a more technical level would probably suit, e.g. developing algorithms etc.
Lastly, if you're interested in the Game industry, fair enough, but keep in mind very few Game companies can reliably predict their sales income for a project. Most will attempt to keep developer salaries as low as possible, work them as much as possible and will not hesitate to let developers go if a game release doesn't return the expected income.
