I agree that professional video game player seems worse than my desk job. If it paid a lot I would do it. I would not quit my job to do it for less or slightly more money, even if I were good enough which I am not.
The one I follow is Magic: The Gathering, and those guys seem to spend 8+ hours a day streaming and getting sponsored, and they don't seem rich. Do get to travel a lot, though. It would be good for a young man.
