Age-Old Battle Between Parents and Children

There have always been disagreements between parents and their children. One of the biggest ones of all time is about video games. Many kids enjoy playing with them. Of course, most parents think there is a better way to spend their time.

Moms and dads all over the world will say to the family, "video games are a waste of time and you can never earn money or get a job by playing them all the time." The kids do not care, they will play them all the time anyway.

Education And Career In Gaming

Even though your parents will not admit it, there are opportunities to make money in the world of video games. Of course, you can try to become a professional gamer. That is not easy, kind of like making it in pro-sports. Players can also get into tournaments for cash prizes. Again, the competition is tough.

There is a more reliable way to break into the video game business. That is a game designer. It is just another aspect of computer sciences. Creating games can definitely be a good one. Now, you can earn that degree at a college in Illinois.
