I know there is youtube or creating letsplay videos, but lets be honest everyone does that and it dont pay the bills unless you meet requirements of the YouTube gods.

Im a casual gamer and im just wondering if i can turn this hobby into something like a job? Or should i prepare myself for a actually job in life?

So is it possible to earn real money as a gamer?

also im not sure where to put this sense there are not any money related communitys from what i know.

    You should prepare yourself to get a real job.

    You can game on the side. You can even try to build up a following and turn that into something that replaces your job. But you probably won’t get that off the ground before needing a real job.

      IMO gaming is in the same category with art, music, racing, football, photography etc—fun things to do, only very few can make a living out of them.
