Everyone does it for the dream, and then they get in the industry and realize it isn't what they thought by a long shot. As for majors, focus on what you want to do. If you want to be a producer, then you need to be focused in communications, production, etc. The fact that your medium is video games is ancillary.
I have this idea that work will be almost 24 hours a day, no sleep, work fast in order to meet the release dates, work like crazy, etc. I know it is hard, but I just want to create happiness for people in the form of art. I want to make people happy, and this is my way to do it. Also, I would get money in the way. I wouldn't care a lot if they pirate my games, only the companies would. But that wouldn't mean I'd leaked them or not put anti-piracy on them or else they would fire me.
