new programmer

i want to be a computer game programmer, but i don't want to go to university because it's too expensive and won't teach me anything anyway.

what's the best way to become a professional game programmer without actually getting a university education?  is it even possible?

Yes, because you can be one of those amazing self-taught people that learned everything with just a library card. Anything is possible as long as you put your mind to it right?

Spoiler: you don't have that kind of will power. That is your one ability that you can't "will" yourself to get better at. You'll try to learn C++ for 5 minutes and then give up and jerk off to /d/ for the rest of your life. Then you'll die face down in a pool of your own jizz.
