It depends on where he/she lives...Honestly, my son wants to get into the game-dev as well...overseas there are lot more options than here, in Hungary. I'd recommend to forget about it. The current changes to the industry (the free-to-play stuff, mobile platforms, etc) are not really helping the game developers living. They need less art-time so the payment is less. I meet ads where payment is depending on sales. However nowadays sales are not granted. Sometimes I considering moving into tattoo or photography, and leave game development at all...or go back to programming office management programs...eh...

He's just a teenager, so he really doesn't have much of a focus yet other than "I want to get into games". But I told my daughter I'd get some recommendations on things like what he should study, good colleges for careers in games, different job descriptions, good entry-level positions, etc. So, I'd love to hear what you guys have to say. Any advice at all would be great. Thanks, Paul
