Yeah. Luckily I learned about those things at my first year at university in a "Computer Science with games design" course. I switched to straight CS in year two and I've always thought I dodged a bullet, there.
Sad though. The most fun you can have with programming is maybe the least fun programming job of all.
Last sentence:
Quite true! Game Dev (and Graphics Programming) should be fun - though in todays environments, its everything apart from fun.
Honestly: For me today, writing boring business/workflow/CRUD/shop applications is the fun I should have had when being in GFX-programming - I do not know why its not fun to work for a game dev company.
