20 Problems Only People Dating Gamers Will Understand

14. The €œI Want To Be A Professional Gamer€ Talk

€œSo, I think I€™m gonna quit my job.€ €œOh really? Why is that?€ €œWell, I€™ve been thinking and I really just want to do something that I like, something that will make me happy.€ €œThat€™s great! What were you thinking of doing?€ €œI€™m going to be a professional gamer.€ €œUh huh€€ While there are a lot of people who get paid tremendous amounts of money to test games before release, compete in international competitions, etc., being a professional gamer is a pipe dream from just about anyone who picks up a controller. Yeah, it€™d be awesome to hang around the house all day, drinking gallons of Mountain Dew and eating all the Hot N Readys you can get your hands on, but that€™s not a professional gamer€™s life. That€™s a lazy buffoon€™s life. It takes more than just skill and an elitist mentality to be a professional.
