15k per year is alot of money for playing starcraft all day long in training house. Get real guys If the training house supplies food, sure it may be ok. But lets be serious you are a pro gamer making 15k/y for 5 years that is a total of 75k (~50k after taxes) for 5 years of your life. If you save 100% of it, you would be on a nice start to a retirement plan. However after you finish your progaming career where do you go? You're ~25 with a pretty bad resume, your hope is to stay within the scene as a commentator, writer, etc. That savings you had over the course of 5 years will mostly used up by the time you get back on your feet. Last but not least, lets say they practice 56 Hours per week (I'm sure some put in 70+). That comes just under $7 per hour, factor that in with they are the best in that particular field of work, its a very very small number even I can top that number by streaming. I'm not saying progaming isn't lucrative, but 15k/y is a horrible estimate. Didn't Destiny say he gets at least 50k/y on his own? Have you heard of a thing called a UNIVERSITY? It's a weird magical place that students that have finished High School go to in order to get something called a degraa... degrede?? Degree, that's the word. A degree. Which they later use to get a job. Being 25 is not the end of the fucking world. Actually the fact that your life isn't off to the greatest start is the problem with progaming. It doesn't seem realistic to say that you'll have a lot of savings, and if you don't want to be lonely for the rest of your life you'll want to have children, and children cost tons of money, which shouldn't be a problem if you're working your way up the work ladder, but oh wait "you're just a progamer, yeah my super important company wants you...not. You'll probably just game on the job." You have such a twisted view of what a pro gamer's life is like I literally can't understand how your brain works. What is the problem really? That you spent a few years having a blast, doing what you love doing and earning money doing it? Is that somehow a problem? I don't understand. Who has lots of savings going straight in to university? Not many. There are things called student loans and scholarships or stipends that anyone can get if they look hard enough. Most people aren't willing to look farther out than their bedroom window though, so I understand how it may seem impossible to you. Who says you'll be alone your entire life? Being 25 is young, really fucking young. I'm not planning on having kids until I'm at least 28. If I'm a sad loner for my entire life up until 25, I have three years I can learn mad social skills, and at 28 I can find a girl I like and start a family with. Forever alone? Doesn't look like it to me. Children cost money, yeah. But if you live an average persons life, you have two people making the income. Guess what? Women are allowed to get jobs now. Did you know that? Let's pull a number. 40,000 USD a year as a University graduate. You're 29-30 now maybe, and you want to start a family with a girl. She has a job as well. If she hasn't, what the fuck are you doing with her? She'll probably earn the same amount you do, so that's 80k a year you're earning together. You share everything, because that's what you do when you're a family. 80k is a fucking lot of money. Children are expensive, sure. But you are the parent, so you can set the limitations. Just because they want shit doesn't mean you have to give it to them. Teach them the value of money, make them work for their toys. Just because they want the newest video game console, doesn't mean you have to give them what they want. All you have to do is feed them and buy them clothes. No boss is going to think you'll spend all your time playing video games. What ever made you think that, I have no idea. Yeah, that was me being cocky with my assumptions. But let's apply starcraft logic to the real world. You want to get an early lead and then get more ahead in starcraft. I want to do the same in life. Admittedly, if you're good enough to be a progamer, then one or two nights a week you could just do an easy peez online tourney and make a few hundred. Women have jobs? Oh yeah. Forgot about them cuz we're on the internet. Touche, I agree with you. Pro gaming is something everyone should do if they have the talent for it. I'm glad i don't live in the US. Seems like alot of pressure to start working right after school and starting pooling money as early as possible. I sweden i have alot of friends with well paid jobs (70kish $ / year) that traveled and just slacked from 18-25. There's no rush to start school or serious career until you really want to. User was warned for this post For some reason I don't believe you...at all.
This is entirely possible in the US as well, given you come from a family with means and don't mind using nepotism or connections to get a job you probably don't deserve.

I'd love to play 2's with him. If I forget to wall off and lings kill my whole worker line he could bail me out with the other team's money :D
Obama for president progamer!

Obama wouldn't be a good SC2 player because he couldn't get all of his SCV's to work

Haha, but his opponent would mine out his gas too fast and hoard it, making his poor SCVs starve. =)

By that logic Bush Jr. would be even better; he would not only spend a ton of money, he'd actually put more back on the map. And I think that the Eurozone would be far better at that than Obama.

"This is not a" may refer to the movie The Bourne Supremacy.

That makes no sense. It implies there is some form of intelligence.
