Then my teacher apologized for not trusting in my abilities after getting professional LOL Player

My son is 11 and he's always talked about wanting to be a professional gamer, but last year he decided he'd rather work in the movie business making movies.

I love this for a number of reasons, specifically on account of practicality and maturity displayed by your son. During the early 2010s, I was involved with the management of players with SK Gaming, one of the biggest organizations. Since leaving the scene, I've become a screenwriter and at the moment, I'm collaborating with major Hollywood studios.

Though it's far easier to break into esports than Hollywood, there is a time limit for the feasibility, as teams and individual players' success rates can only last for so long. After that, they have to enter the real world and unless they've won a world championship in Dota 2, their past achievements don't amount to a hill of beans. I mean, I love esports and one of my coworkers from SK is now an agent with WME, so that's a nice parallel, but I wouldn't necessarily encourage people to pursue that career direction unless they've already gotten their foot in the door.
