lists average monthly income (as of 2005) for a Computer Programmer (software developer) as $ 2,245. Meaning their salary is not very high for a skilled worker. On the other hand, considering that these pro-gamers are very young and without much education (i.e. a fruit dealer), their salary is not bad at all. For example, the average income of a Salesperson is listed as $1600. | ||

I'd say it's a pretty good deal. And you probably also get to travel abit. Not to mention you get to play Starcraft all day. Let's not forget that this is a game, and 99.99% of all people do this to have fun. The 31k is more of a bonus to all of that. | ||

I didn't say it was horrible, ofc it's a good deal for a progamer I am just saying that for my standards is pretty crazy to think that someone "working" all those hours a week only get that amount of money... | ||
