to those who work in the gaming industry, what advice would you give to someone who wants a career in it?

i think im interested in working in the gaming industry (not as a content creator), but im unsure where to even start other than the fact that im currently in school for software engineering, but im willing to work any job in it. would even a job like a social media job require a related 4 year degree?

thanks for any advice or replies! 🤍
