    Today (Friday) started out good - my son had to come out of his hobbit and sit with me one on one in the car - just him and I on his 15min drive to work - I was able to touch base with him and always kept in mind that transforming from school life to work life is a big step and takes conditioning physically and mentally. - it was just baby steps but a good start - I'm sharing this because I real of appreciate everyone's input. Of my six children this one I could never really relate too and gaming seems to be the opportunity I've been waiting for. Turns out he is interested in a career in the field and was unaware of available work shop's as I was unaware of the opportunities available that may grow over time. I wont go into all the details but now that he's finished school the opportunity for me to help him is the perfect time free and away from all the others who have intervened thru authority and the school system (much of I disagree with but felt helpless). Gaming is the blessing in disguise and even if he doesn't end up with a career in the field its the opportunity I've been waiting for. Thanks again!

    nice dude...if you guys don't agree on certain things, a healthy relationship between each other can go a very long way in both being successful and happy!

    I read that the GTA is now number 3 in North America for tech jobs so he should have some good opportunities to find an internship and job if that’s the career path he chooses.

    Thankyou there's lots of work to do - there's a lot more to this and high school was tough for him - I've been waiting in the background for this op and I know it is not going to be easy

    My little hammerhead gamer has been doing pretty well going to work. He's full time at an automotive stamping plant. Last night he won 500.00 $ playing Fortnight and qualified for a 1.6 million $ tournament and booked three days off work to play - couldn't get too upset over that and actually quite excited for him - hope our Taco Bell internet (as he refers to it) will hold up for him...

    You can make huge money playing games if you’ve got talent, entertaining personality and a strong social media presence. Oh and a LOT of determination. Set up a stream on twitch. Get enough followers to make partner and then start getting subscribers and donations. Make YouTube videos of game highlights. Post clips and gear pics on Instagram and post on twitter to engage with a boarder fan base. You can have revenue stream coming from all those outlets.

    When Shroud was at his peak he had over 100,000 subscribers at $5 a month each. Twitch takes half when you’re starting. It less when you
    Get bigger. Even if he was getting $3 that’s $300,000 made in one month just to play a game. That’s doesn’t factor in the tens of thousands of dollars he gets in donations/tips. YouTube, Instagram and merchandise.

    Gaming is a very legitimate source of income these days. On average you need 1200-1500 steady subs to justify streaming full time. That’s when the growth really starts happening.
