The "Tell me how to make my game with no money and when the idea is so secret I can't tell you because you'll steal it" type questions.
If you keep answering these things, people are going to keep punking you with them.

There is a point at which such conversations become fairly clearly an unproductive waste of time, but I don't think this instance is there yet. Nor do I think they are unproductive in general. Perhaps a bit naive, sure, but I still think it's fine to assume good faith on the part of the asker and deal with the fact that that assumption was unwarranted when it actually happens.

As someone with experience in both options, I can safely say this:
The very way your question is formulated indicates you've only just started thinking about this. Don't get me wrong, this may have been in the back of your head for the past few years, but it wasn't in the front of your head all the time for long enough.
The question is simply too broad without a shadow of a business plan in mind.
If you truly intended on proceeding with B, you'd not be asking a question here to gauge people's motivations and interest, you'd be much more determined on the 'HOW' than on the 'what's best'.
As a result, and without more information (none is required really), A is definitely what you should be doing: pays the rent, teaches you stuff, while you can start thinking about how you'll make your own thing, if you're even still interested in doing so after a while.
