Well, thats there is a hard question to answer. I recently got a job working on fossology.org, a website dealing with the legal problems associated with free and open source software. However, I also just finished my favorite professor in rewriting his research (an vision recognition system). Both of these projects have been incredibly interesting but they reside in very different parts of computer science.

If you put a gun to my head and told me to choose I would probably have to go with systems at this point. I love working with low level application and operating system programming. However, I start my senior level classes this summer and I plan on getting a masters after those, so I have plenty of time to dable before a decision needs to be made.

There is something that I would like to say for all those thinking of getting into the gaming industry:

Don't make your hobby your career.

And I say this because there are so many interesting places to take the field of programming that you don't need to make your entire life revolve around video games. In addition there are soooooooooooooo many students in computer science students who will tell you that they want to work on video games that its becoming a sad stereo type.
