Which job is objectively better astrophysicist or game programmer

If a person has the capacity to be either a successful astrophysicist or a successful game programmer, I would advise to choose the profession of astrophysicist, because it will prove to be more satisfying to advance basic human knowledge, than to provide yet another entertainment to the public, which is already drowning in entertainments. However, if your talents are better suited to game programming than they are to astrophysics, then naturally you should aspire to be a game programmer. It's always a good idea to do what you are good at doing.
