-Playing for leisure is not the same as playing for "work" -Should you be first, it usually does'nt last long (depends on age, talent and commitment I guess..) -Pretty unfulfilling unless you enjoy and aspire to not doing anything other than "entertainment" -Dont expect the big bucks unless you're like..top 10 in the world, and even then, a decent diploma will net you a better yearly salary than most of them. -Years lost now cost you more later, not only in terms of salary but in terms of finding a job. Employers look for candidates with a fresh skillsets, wether from being newly graduate or from switching jobs. There's a difference between taking a few years off to travel around the world, and quitting your job to commit fulltime to a videogame...pretty big stigma there. If being a pro gamer is your "dream", I guess you have some introspection to do -_- My opinions obviously. You'd be surprised at how much you can still play and enjoy videogames while working a fulltime job. All about management (being single helps a lot though). | ||

All about management (being single helps a lot though). someone gave up on there dreams, and second a diploma doesn't entitle you too anything (ex. a high paying job) 3rd i know some people very close to me without a college education that still make bank. Just saying. IMO go to college if you actually care about learning something not just to get a diploma | ||

Having a Diploma doesn't guarantee you anything either. Yes it has better odds then streaming video games for sure but its not the be all and end all of having a successful life. End of the day people got to do what they enjoy. | ||

A job, regardless of your qualification, is usually not strictly dependant of your performances at tourneys or ads revenues from streams. An aspiring artist or musician usually relies on a (2nd) job to pay his bills, until he breaks into the market or realize he'll never make a living from it. Making bank =/ professionnal fullfillment, altough for some its not as important. I would'nt clean toilets for 50K a year. As I said its my opinion, your anecdotal evidence(s) will not change it in the slightest. | ||
