i've worked at a research group studying video games at the local university as a research assistant before, essentially making unity mock ups and trouble shooting.

i'm ok with working on indie projects, and research positions are also OK, but i don't think i'd want to work as a programmer on a big game
especially with the deadlines and pressure

on the other hand, i'd love to do music for big games or indie games. as long as it's not programming hahaha.
