Few industries are growing as fast as esports.
With surging revenues and audiences, there's almost no limit on what you could do within the video game domain.
Can esports be a career?
Yes, more than ever.
As a tech-smart generation who grew up playing video games enters the workforce, esports has become a viable career option.
Esports continues to see big increases in sponsorships, advertising, media rights and merchandise sales.

The esports profession is robust and promising.
Esports is more than just being a 'gamer'

While top players earn the most, you can still make a good living in other roles:
- Announcer

- Content producer
- Promoter/event organizer
- Sales/marketing
- Social media manager
These are just a few. In a multi-billion dollar industry like esports, the need for skilled employees will always exist.
