Is breaking into the video game industry a hard thing to do? Or is
it much like getting another computer position? Is there a lot more
competition or do you think I could concievably have a gaming job
upon graduation or within a couple of years?

AAA games are written in. In several years Java might replace it as
the language of choice. Also some schools have game development
degrees like Full Sail in Florida or Digipen in I think San
Fransisco. To get into a game programming job you need to prove
yourself as a programmer who can make a game. Making something some
simple games like asteroids for a portfolio or one difficult game
like a first person shooter would go a long way.
