Well... I hate to say it, but I wonder if your choice of studio might not be the best to make a positive impression of the industry. It's a problem across the industry, but EA are notorious for being among the worst.
That said, there are lots of EA studios, and they're all different. Which one?
I worked consistent 16 hour days for a year solid at my previous job (Krome Studios in Australia) before the studio melted down spectacularly.
Never really gave myself a change to recover from that before going straight into another job which also had a lot of crunching (though fortunately, a lot less in my department).
It was fine when I was a kid, but it creeps up on you. For me, I realised I wasn't putting the effort in that I expected from myself at first. I could sit there staring at my screen, but by brain kinda seised up, and I got very little work done.
When I consciously realised what was happening, I had to start thinking about how to fix it, before it ruins my lifes passion.
