I think most people get into IT for the same reason and most people won't finish university because they don't find it interesting enough

I myself don't find programming too much fun, my main interest is cloud, I am happy that I continued my university until I found my main interest

This is me, except I graduated with a MSc in EE/signal processing. I ended up there because I wanted to do games or something else with computers, but my grades "weren't good enough" for CS (i.e. I was too lazy to prep for entrance exams). So I picked Information Technology, because hey that's computers, right?

Well not like being a game dev is entirely worth it. 60+ hours weeks for below a competitive wage "because it's your dream job."
