Barrier to entry quite low? WHAT?
# of lawyers in the world? Millions. Your chances of becoming a lawyer if you are absolutely dedicated to it are probably over 50%.
# of progamers in the world? Hundreds. There are loads of gamers all over the world that play for 6 hours a day, some taking it very seriously and striving to become the best, but only the top 0.01% will ever succeed.
Edit: But if you meant in terms of startup costs I see your point. $20 for broodwar, $70 for a good mouse vs $50 000 for tuition and $5000 for books.
