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.

    If you want peace of mind find a job that you toletate well. You don’t need to love it. You’ll develop a deeper interest for whatever it is as time goes on. The important thing is that it’s something you don’t find completely overwhelming. The other important thing is that you can leave it at the door when you go home. Every hour of your free time you spend thinking about work is an hour of unpaid overtime.

    Just try different things until something sticks and don’t forget that you can still fine-tune your career or do something else entirely if you wake up one day and realize that’s what you want.

      This is so insidious. Working a job and one day you realize you actually care about something you don’t understand why you should care about it. I know I it’s stupid for me to care about something in my with and yet I do.
