I remember planning to do something in video games as I was growing up. Ended up in a different but fairly related field. Maybe this is just a sign of the next generation of people that'll work in advertising/marketing/PR/media/fashion?

Yeah I had dreams of making video games when I was younger (and still daydream about it sometimes now) and even got to the point of doing some work in modding communities and playing around with my own simple games/clones. Lots of these Gen Zers will likely start TikTok channels or such, but once you find out how difficult it is to make it to the top you tend to at least redirect. Led me to a job in Cybersecurity, and I'm sure most of these kids will turn out fine as well.
