25, been working in the industry since I was 20 and just as Stinger88 I've been working on the lowest form of games on the ladder due to a shitty represented industry in this country. Need to get into AAA asap. :)
I'm 20 right now. I got my first gig in April, but it was a short term contract thing, and now I'm looking for work. Oh well, got my foot in the door at least. I was 16 when I started learning how to do this.
I'm currently 24, started doing paid contract work at 18, but those were all for indie things that I don't believe ever saw the light of day. So my first published game work was done when I was 20...and, that was the last time too. :\
