What are/is the best option/s for programing languages?

Specifically, i am interested in programing to do with video games, though i am aware that this career path (game dev) might not be realistic, so i was hoping for a language that can be used for coding games, but also has other uses, if such a language exists.

How do you approach debugging or troubleshooting issues in a large codebase?

I feel that there are a lot of debugging when it comes to coding, my experience in middle school/high school main concerns were about how to try and fix the code, but obviously its just a small portions, so how do actual engineers debug code while dealing with a database of codes and programs.

How can I break into the game design and development industry after I obtain my Game Art Bachelors degree? #Spring25

I’m currently signed up to attend Full Sail University’s online Game Art course and plan to return for Game Development afterwards. I have heard that some game development companies like Nintendo and Activision like to contact Full Sail to get information about recent graduates. Is that true?
