Does a job in the video game industy contribute ?

[Sharpadox]

Hello everyone ! I wanted to ask what do you think about working in the video game industry, it is my goal to work there, but I don't know If through having that job, I contribute to society. For instance, video games help people unwind and in small quantities I believe that it can be healthy, but many people play for many more hours a day and I'm starting to think that a job in the industry not only doesnt contribute, but actually hinders society in a negative way, wasting people's lives and therefore time. What do you think. Do games contribute to people that haven't found their way in life?

It can be ok sometimes but sometimes it's better to take those skills you would use as a game dev for instance and put them into use in other industries. Here's a video I have on this.
