That's not that bad. In fact it's about 1000% more than I thought.
Check the stats on the UK or other European countries.

> I bet way more people study game design each year at colleges/Universities in Australia.

Absolutely for sure. Any career guidance councillor worth their salt
would be pointing this out. There was a big article in develop
magazine about this in the UK. The punchline was they were graduating
the same number of people each year from game dev courses as there was
fulltime employed industry wide in europe. That was approximately
10,000 people in 2007 I think it was.
