Is it even possible to get into the gaming industry?

I feel kinda silly asking here, since it seems so unserious, but is it even possible to get into the gaming industry? I've tried other jobs and I always get bored to the point I can't do it anymore, I've had so many jobs that only last a few months.

Growing up all I wanted to do was work at Nintendo, and make games like the ones I loved playing. So during school I would always take classes related to game development, even taking extra classes over the summer voluntarily because they offered game dev programs. I grew up and realized all that meant nothing, and it's basically impossible to get into the industry. Not only that, but that dream I had quickly vanished when I saw how the industry ACTUALLY is. So I kinda gave up, and just stuck to jobs like retail or food service, became a chef (like an actual one) and hated it. I don't want to keep doing jobs I hate, I want to do something I at least somewhat enjoy, you know?

Gaming is the one thing I never got sick of, and it's something I've always loved, as dumb or childish as it sounds. I still want to have a part in making them, but I'm not creative or ambitious enough to go make one all alone, nor do I really have the money to fund doing so.

But like, even getting a job as an entry level QA tester requires several years of experience, and experience using all sorts of programs I've never heard of -- forget anything that's actually involved in making the games, those are even more strict and impossible to get into.

So is it even possible to get into the industry? Whether as a game dev or a journalist or whatever, I just don't see how you can do it without someone on the inside that gets you in.
