Six Misconceptions About Gamers and Gaming

2.) You can never have a career in video games

There comes a point in your life when you wonder whether it's a good idea to follow your dreams and do what you love in college. I am sure a couple of parents would have a mini heart attack if you told them that you wanted to play video games for the rest of your life. Heck, I started to believe that video games can't be more than anything but a hobby.

However, times are changing and there are more careers available in the video game industry aside from being a programmer. You can make money by writing, live streaming, making, and selling video games. I work for Gameranx now and I'm happy I've proven people wrong.
