Best career opportunities in gaming

“Gaming!!!” is just not limited to playing mobile games. It has taken a great leap. With gaming now you can also earn and make a career in it. Today many countries are adopting gaming as a profession.

Gaming is the interest of every child now. A few years ago everybody was considering gaming a waste of time but many gamers like “Mortal”, “Scout”, “And Jonathan”, proved them wrong. Having said that, Indian parents have refused to see a career in gaming as viable for their children for the past few years. The fast-growing numbers are proof that the industry will grow at a rapid speed.

Credit for this revolution in the field of gaming goes to games like PUBG, Among Us, Valorant, and many more. A recent report has stated that the direct and indirect value of the global gaming industry in 2021 was over $300 Billion which is larger than the movies and music industries combined.

The main reason for the boost in the gaming industry is because of the pandemic years.
During the pandemic, everyone was sitting at home with no work to do. With the ...
... pandemic holding people hostage for months together, many took refuge in games that helped them escape, shooting up the number of hours spent significantly.

A gamer has a journey that begins with curiosity and ends with the desire to create.

Curiosity - You discover a new game, and get curious about how to play it.

Interest - You begin to enjoy the game, the storyline, the graphics, and the rush of adrenaline.

Habit - Gradually, playing the game every day becomes a habit, it is less of a pastime and more of an escape to a different reality.

Conceptualization - You start to conceptualize yourself as the character of the game and start reacting to the game as if it is a part of your life.

Desire - You think to make games, create a world of your own, and achieve the tag of a professional gamer.

What are the career options in gaming?

Esports athlete - Esports is a form of competition using video games. It is a competition for multiplayer video games between professional players, individually or as teams. Today esports competitions are held on a large scale and their prize pools have reached a height of $1M.

Game Designer - For someone who is brimming with new gaming ideas and can come up with creative concepts that can eventually take the face of a video game, a Game Designer is a perfect role.

Game Developer/Programmer - The Game Designer is the one who comes up with the vision of the game, but the Game Developer is the person who converts it into a playable format. A developer writes the codes as per feature requirements for the game to make it realistic.

Game Tester - Although people assume that the job of a Game Tester is just to play games all day long, their main job includes quality assurance of games, identifying bugs, and suggesting improvements to the programmers.
