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?

There are lots of ways to learn. I'm both self-taugh and uni. Learned C and Basic for fun before college. Went to college, learned Java, C#.NET, asm, LISP (Lost In Superflous Parenthesis), VB.NET, VBA (Visual Basic Archaic). Got a job, needed to learn PHP, taught myself that, needed to learn some shell scripting, started teaching myself that.
