Depends on what career path you choose to follow. Both paths can be very rewarding with their own pros and cons. Being hired by a major developer will be difficult as they likely only hire the top one percent of applicant in that field. Your skills would need to be commensurate to that of a professional of many years. Comparatively being an Indie developer has a very low barrier to entry as you are dictating the requisite skill set. Everyone has to start somewhere to build their skills.

how would I go about getting a job as a game developer, what skills would I need and is it worth it? I have heard that getting a company job such as Valve is better than an indie job but I don't know much about it, which is better?
