There´s too many people who "ruin" their life by trying to go pro. Sure give it a go from Age 10-20, and you can even take a year or two at your parents or living off savings. I even did that But there's way too many who've "tasted" or seen pro life, and now think it´s feasible to achieve a long-term solution. It can be an evil circle if you never consider your situation. Going in as a 25-35 year old - into the "next stage of life" and having 0$ saved, no education, sacrificed friendships and no work experience can be a harsh reality check. I think it should be more common amongst Semi pros / low tier pros, to get real advice from agents, friends or even previous pros and tell them the reality of the situation. Not everybody will have the skill or mind to make it. And no not everyone will be a talent, streamer or content creator after their career. It´s the small percentage of pros, not the average retirement. Be realistic with your ambitions, and try to achieve your dreams. But please realize there´s so much more than CS out there.
