If you grew up obsessed with gaming,them you were probably told by various relatives that you could never make a living playing video games all day.
Yet while that might once have been true,there is now a growing industry of professional gamers for hire making serious money with their hard-earned skills.
Marko Uslinkovski is a 36-year-old professional gamer from North Macedonia who makes a living beating games for people who don't have time to do it themselves.
With a team of 50 'boosters' Marko told MailOnline his company,Captain Carry,can turnover between $30,000 to $50,000 in a good month.
Marko told MailOnline: 'These new games are extremely difficult,so we're like the last ditch effort for people that are borderline giving up.'
Some players also pay up to $220 for one of Marko's professional players to level their characters up in game
However,in the end,Marko says that all these drawbacks are worth it to be able to play games for a living.
'It's not like I'm missing out on much on much. I don't have much of a nightlife but what's that apart from drinking alcohol,driving fast,and beating up other people?' he said.
'I think I got lucky with my character traits; I was a bit anti-social since youth but now I can justify not going somewhere because I can say I have to work.'
And while a steady job with a stable income does have its appeal,Marko doesn't seem overly concerned with making money.
'I know there are some companies that are making more but I'm not that kind of guy,I'm more about growing things in my yard and tending to animals,' he added.
'I grew up in a village so I didn't have a dream to be some rich guy,I think that's about the dumbest dream you could have.
'This is all about the video games,even if I made 10 per cent of what I do I would take it just to play games for a living.'
