you need an education to fall back on, even if you want to game for your life... ideally XG will take off and i'll be a professional council member... but i went to college, and i plan to go for my master's degree as well as my PhD in Psychology... gaming is my passion, but you have to have a solid plan in life...

also having a degree in Psychology, i know that you need social skills to excel in life... and you won't achieve the proper social skills needed to be successful... a lot of people don't realize how important those social skills are... i was a program specialist in a school for children with autism over the summer and that's all we address was social skills in this school.. those kids would love to attain the social skills that people without autism can easily attain, and it's sad to see someone waste it

family guy quote:
i work at burger king, making flameboy whoppers.. etc etc

thats all his life will become.
lets face it, becoming a pro gamer that makes a reasonable living is ridiculous odds.

i agree, social skills are key to anything you do but i blame that on the parents.

Hahahah. Another tale to entertain us day by day. Now this...this is what we call a dream job, specifically because I think it's exactly that, a dream. I wonder if his parents are lying to him, just so that he finishes school. I love sneak tactics.
