Making a video game is difficult, time consuming, and only fun if you truly love it. Programming to some may be boring, but to others like myself it's amazing and inspiring. Every time I sit down to crunch out some more code I find myself working for hours to perfect a new aspect of my game.
You'll know if the job is right for you after you've been programming for a year and still feel like a kid in a candy store. Otherwise it will get old fast and the fun and games will end. Try taking some programming courses and see how you like it. Teach yourself some C (or if you're really daring go for assembly language). It's easy to pick up but near impossible to master.
Good luck in your future endeavors and start early to build your portfolio.
