Has anyone considered it? What might be the salary? What might be the duties of such a job? Could you do it full-time? How would someone even break into that stuff?
 
I made 64€ in tournament.
They're a lot of factors for the salary the tournament gains, the sponsor, team and affiliate products. It can go from thousands of dollars to millions.
It's possible but unlikely.
Already earning a lot and then jump fulltime
 
I have often considered professional gaming but I know that it would involve a lot of my time spent playing and bettering myself at video games and with my lifestyle, that is not something that would fit in with it.

Had my circumstances been different, I may have tried to eSports.

I have heard that the salary can be quite high for someone who is professional in eSports but that you can reach burnout quite easily.

What kind of salary? Is it at least $25,000 a year? Is it something like what a doctor would make?

I have heard that it is around £38,609 a year for someone who plays in eSports for a living, this is roughly $47821.10 per year which is not bad at all.

I believe this is slightly less than what a doctor earns per year though.
 
I'm good, but not that good, nor would I want to play video games that long to remain good enough to win tournaments or be an online fandom star. Not to mention the carpal tunnel risk of it all. :(
 
It's incredibly difficult. I'm a very competitive person, and I've been playing games my entire life. There's more than just being good too. If your goal is to "go pro" then I would say that's substantially more difficult than to work on a brand and a Twitch channel and create content. You will find people who will go homeless just to be 1% better than you at a video game, it's not worth it. Also, college helps on your path to becoming a pro if anything. My school has state of the art tech that I can smash other players with. I've also met people that are on the cusp of being pro through school, so yeah, it's a whole mix of network, skill, and pure determination to truly make it as a professional gamer.
