Few things. If I was rationally advising them on what should they do, I would tell them all to go to school. So yes, all mouz players (all smart enough SC2 players without higher education in general) should continue with education instead of playing SC2. But ultimately it is their choice and they are free to do stupid things and pursue whatever they want. Thus I am not arguing from rational advisor standpoint, because I am not responsible for them. The argument I was making was to point out that people saying that we should praise EG for making ThorZain economically well off are missing the fact that him going to school would make him economically even better off in the long term. To summarize, I was not saying what he should do. I was saying that there is no reason to praise/not hate EG for the money, as if we actually cared about ThorZain being well off we should encourage him to quit SC2. But people do not care purely about him being well off. People want him to play SC2 first and having a lot of money second. | ||

If you become a pro just for the money instead of actually loving the game then you won't have a fun job. | ||

Schooling (especially in America) isn't cheap and interest on student loans isn't exactly forgiving. He isn't saying no to school alltogether. He is postponing it. School isn't a "Do it now or don't do it at all!" kind of thing. On the other hand, a major payday in a StarCraft career is. He is from Sweden where university education is close to free. But doing school earlier is better than doing it later. One year postponement probably makes your long term gains only marginally worse, so no problem there really. | ||
