It's been however-many years, and I still remember the professor of my data structures class bragging that one of the students she'd mentored was able to pursue his dream: making video games. "He's doing QA for Bethesda," she said. "You know, they made Skyrim?".
At that moment, an almost palpable feeling of students re-evaluating their lives swept through the room. In my memory, not one of us moved for a full twenty seconds.
