Guest Teditis Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 It is interesting... I like playing games too and being unemployed (on disability) I find that I can while away the hours with gaming. I get a weird sense of accomplishment when I do well on the game and feel as though I've "done something" with my day. So I can see how this would be a problem with young men and women just entering the work-force. However, I don't get paid for gaming and most others do not as well... so my question is how are they supporting themselves? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Ted, I think a lot of single guys who make up this group are still living in the family home. Financially parents are supporting them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To subsidize their gaming hours. They would be better off volunteering if they have so much free time. I just dont see the work ethic in some of them that I used to see. Even with my own brother who is currently wanting another job because he feels he works too hard at this one. He wants a cushy job that pays twice as much as his current one, without having to work for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
