Learn UDK, 3dSM, Maya, Unreal Ed, Photoshop, maybe some Java and C++ and start making mods for games. You will need a PC with a dedicated video card and not just integrated graphics. Build a portfolio of mods for popular games like CounterStrike or CoD games. Showing you know how to make textures, character and object models as well as levels can give you a leg up on getting into the industry over someone who just went to school to learn about it.

CounterStrike started out as a mod for UT based on Rainbow Six and the two mod makers were hired by Sierra to make a stand alone version of the game. I can think of at least 3 other modders who were hired by studios and am sure there are many more.

Go to System Wars and post there as much as you can until someone from the video game industry notices you and starts throwing money at you.

I have been preaching this for years. It works. 

Valve have been taking on youths recently. I know that much.

i am sure you are aware of this more than I am,but many different people are involved in making games.

I dont hink you need to be a coder per se.

You can be good at writing stories, designing characters, making music, marketing, etc etc

So maybe it is better to figure out where your talent lies and hone that, rather than restricting your self.

i got involved in the gaming industry as a translator and had not prior experience or connection before that so you never know
