So what can I say, I'm a database programmer (DAO/ADO/ODBC) who is burned out with migrations, front-ends, bad specs, and predesigned db's that are just wrong. I need to get out of this biz before my brain cells die off entirely...

Question is this: I love programming, but I can't stand what I'm doing. How does one get into gaming or something similar? How does one do it for a living? What do you people do for a living? Any responses would be greatly appreciated...
