My son's best friend is likely to be the school's valedictorian... and he's not taking the ACT or SAT this year... because he doesn't plant to go to college.
And why wouldn't such a bright young man want to go to college? Because he wants to be a professional gamer... because there's are "millions of dollars in it" and even just qualifying for a tournament can "net me 40 to 60 thousand."
So he spends every waking moment playing video games. Every day. All day.
I learned this because my son was complaining his best friend never wants to do anything but play video games, and the only way to get him to come over anymore is for me to set up a lan network for them to game on.
