Rayman2k2. There is probably more money in investment banking. There is a huge amount of math involved in CS game development. So my suggestion is if you like math and gaming and relaxed work environments and coding for 8-16 hours at a strech go for the CS else go for the banking. There is alot of competition in the game dev world too soo if you pick that route be ready to take anything you can in that area when you are done with school.

It may be a platitude, but in my case, it turned out to be true:

"Do what you love, the money will follow!"

I do what I do now because I like to do it. I have made more money, but with a lot more stress. I prefer what I am doing now!
