If that is what you want to do, go for it. If it is not something movie businesses are looking for, create it yourself. You can try going for content creation online. Be who you want to be.

This is coming from a 41 year old who struggled his whole life finding his purpose. Still not there yet. Didn't dare to make choices and take the road I wanted to go. I could have been a good e sports gamer, but was too afraid of making the jump. My wife pointed me last year to a college where they have esports teams, but they didn't have one for the games I like to play. So yeah, still not jumped.

I'm 42.

If my kid came home as an "eSports player" I'd mock him relentlessly and cut him out of everything.

I would first see how good my daughter would be and if that is good to make real money, I'd let them. But! They still would need to finish school and learn a real job if everything would fail.

eSports is shockingly hard and takes a lot of talent and hard work to be good at. The chance of getting rich from it is about the same as being a professional player in any sport. That being said, just like sports, there are local teams that are chill and can be a ton of fun. Don't shut a kid down for doing what they love.
