Surely the players that actually make any sort of living from a game are a tiny percentage of those that actually try to do it? Hell, if a kid could put in 6-8 hours a day of solid graft at school you'd likely have a kid with some very real prospects in life, but spending 6-8 hours in just one game, that frankly might go out of fashion before they get good enough at it to make any money from it, seems a ridiculously bad idea for an apprenticeship.
Just a thought...if one hundred kids appeared on The Dragon's Den at the same time for example and all gave a little talk about their gaming prowess, the hours they put in, their relative level at their particular game compared with others etc and asked for some backing prior to them 'hitting the big time', does anyone genuinely think any of the Dragons would give any single one of them any money at all? I simply can't see it myself.
The male kids of my generation wanted to be Astronauts, but even as kids we knew it wasn't likely to happen at all and we aimed towards more sensible options.
