list of industries where if you ask a professional for advice on getting into their industry the most correct piece of advice is "don't," because 1) it's a fucking terrible idea to get involved and 2) if they're serious, there's no way in hell that will stop them
don't do indie game dev for a living. also probably don't do aaa game dev for a living, though i have less experience with that
i was told not to by people wiser than me, and now i get to tell the next generation to not. someday they'll grow up and tell other people not to make the same mistake, and they'll be ignored just the same

video games is an industry that, much like grad school (hahahahahah) you're going to spend x number of years before you hit the 'payload' ('making it' aka a Very Whatever Wage thats Better Than Before But You Just Spent X Number Of Years In Severe Poverty & Distress To Get There)
the advice id really give anyone is "find the nearest fatigued AAA person with a chunk of savings & equity, and fund a co-op on part time work VERY SLOWLY"
