I find your post partially immature. I have a wife and kid myself, and if I had a job that had an official title at all, I'd keep it like it was my last breath. A job with a nice title will always be a better reference than one that has a crappy title. If you're gonna quit, you'd damn well better have another job lined up, then file with your current job that you're leaving on such-and-such date, which shouldn't leave more than a week's gap between quitting your old job and getting the new one.
You have a family, and you're asking about if you can make money playing video games? Just how far do you have your head shoved into your ass? I'm sorry, man, but that's really fucking immature. If you got a family, you should count your lucky stars that you got the money to afford gaming at all, not to count time. There's virtually no job market in the gaming world, either as a player or reviewer. It's kind of a job you get in College and accept because you've got nothing else to do- I've never heard of a story of someone going into it as an actual money-making career. How much do you think you could get paid to review in a magazine, for example? Not too much, man. Those guys still live off Ramen most of the time, for Christ's sake.
Hell, I joined the Navy to support my wife and daughter, and you're talking about recessing into childhood and tossing the welfare of your family into the toilet? I'm sorry to be so mean, but grow the fuck up. You're an adult- either keep your job or have another one lined up, like said above. Forget anything in the field of video games as a 'career', as you won't find one that can pay anything near to what your time must be worth.

Forgot about that point. The Presidential Retard has practically decimated our economy. Right now is a bad, bad time to have a career change.
I hope you don't take my ravaging words too harshly, but you're talking to someone who had to give up college for family, and it always pisses me off to see someone worry about their welfare before factoring in the children, not to mention the wife's opinion (who should be your equal, if you have anything more than a parody of a marrage). It seems that folk like me, who understand the sacrifice of family, are dwindling in numbers compared to those who still think they can act as if they're in High School and have either their parents or everyone else (i.e. Welfare) pay the tab.
Note to those about welfare: it's acceptable when it's used as help. It's not when it's used as a crutch. Just wanted to clairify. |

I know that you're still essentially a kid in HS, mike, so I won't rag on you too hard. But I doubt that pays enough to support a family when I hear about people in the gaming buisness currently or in the past bitch that they were living off Ramen when they didn't have to pay more than Rent and utilities.

The point I'm making is to not encourage him to make an exremely selfish decision, mike.... please use some of that intelligence you rant about repeatedly next time to read between the lines.
