I don't know what kind of job you had, but speaking from my own experience, gaming has passed me and become just a hobby. Even if I were good enough to reach the peaks of competitiveness for a few years, it would slowly fall by the wayside, and when the dust settles I would've gained very little. It's not something that I could put on a resume. I wouldn't make a lot of money doing it, nor would there be much, if anything at all going towards pension/benefits. Personally, I think the best time for a gaming career happens at the end of high school until the point you follow your college/career path. This would give you the years from ~18-25 at best, and anything else afterwards is eating into the rest of your life. That being said, it's your choice, and if you're going to do it, do it 100%. Good luck. Doubtful that its a huge mistake. Jobs are easy to come by. People put too much stock into quitting a job being a mistake. If you've saved up money to live off of, you can always find another job. I think being a pro gamer is exactly the type of skills that transfer into kicking ass outside of games. Specific skills in jobs are largely irrelevant. If you can create a process/dedicate the effort to becoming a great SC2 player, then I guarantee you that you can create a process that will allow you to find a job(or start a company) that gives you plenty of income. Being awesome at something generally isn't limited to one sphere of your life. Winners are winners at everything they do. | ||

Good luck. Eating into the rest of your life? You portray life as very set in stone and boring. Sure trying to become a professional gamer is a risk, but you have to take risks in life. If you go for the pension from your age I don't know what to say... | ||
