Having a Job You Love is Living the American Dream

How would you like to have a career, where you are actually paid a living for a while others would consider play? There is a career where you can actually be paid to play videogames, and teach others how to play them. That would be the perfect job for any gamer.

There are also people who were actually paid to try out software, run it through its paces, and report their findings back to the company who made the software. Now I would very much enjoy that career. Finding these dream jobs can be difficult at best but they can be found.

How does one find the job of a profession known video game player? Well Tom Taylor found one of those jobs and according to Hooah magazine, which is put out by the National Guard. In this magazine in which contains an interview with Tom Taylor, he tells how he landed this dream job.

After competing in gaming tournaments around the nation for a few years Tom's style of playing caught, the eye of someone from the major league gaming whom then offered him a $250,000 contract to play games. Downtown spends his days being paid to play video games, and teaching others how to play the games. When Tom is not in competition, he runs an online video game coaching business in which he also tells others how to play the games that he loves.

Tom Taylor is living the American dream in a job that he loves making more money than most Americans will in five to six years of hard manual labor. How many of us would like to have his job as far as having a dream job doing something that we love getting paid for.

Perhaps we could follow Tom's example, and get the word out there, as he did simply by playing in those tournaments, and being noticed by the companies who make those products. Perhaps somebody will come along and offer us the contract of a lifetime so that we could have the dream job that we so desire simply by doing something we love.

These jobs are not only in videogame market, jobs like this exist in software, hardware, sporting goods in just about every other product line that we can imagine. The trick is to get your self-noticed as an expert within that product as a consumer and pray that the company learns of your talents and offers you that dream contract.

    That would be cool, but my dream job is sort of no job. ;-)
