    Default Skill gaming as a career

    If you could play skill games for a living, would you do it? Like, give up school and a "normal" career and play skill games instead?

    Skill gaming as a job. Y/N?

    If you're asking if I'd be good enough at the games to play it for a living, then hell yeah. Even though it's still "work", you'd be your own boss and you can set your own hours.

    Plus, if you were one of those people that could earn $100k+ a year playing games...BALLLLLLIN'

    Yeah, you can assume you are good and consistent enough, and there are enough places to win money.

    yes in that it would be a great source of income and a lot of fun.
    no in that skillgaming does nothing to change or improve the world or the community. so life can still be unfullfilling.

    i would rather become a clinical psychologist with skillgaming as a side career

    I wouldn't give up school for it, but I've pretty much been running on my Worldwinner winnings since alone I turned 18.

    I took one year off from work and supported myself through Worldwinner as I tried to start up a new business. I found that I liked skillgaming better as a side business than full-time employment: I prefer work that feels more signficant, allows me to meet other people, etc.
