Game design also seems like it'd be an outlier fwiw, since it's a niche that people desperately want to get into if they've participated in contemporary entertainment culture in the last 2 decades, and that schools are happy to take their money for, but realistically the competition's always seemed high. Networking is a pretty boring unglamorous pursuit though that's very behind the scenes as well as being difficult and niche.

Game making is like film making in this regard: it's often a "passion job."
