  • You would be looking for something that you would like to do after esports. People age and you reflexes won't be what the used to be.

  • If you want to be a contestant/player, then  skip school and practice the games for hours and hours.  If you want to Promote e-Sports, then marketing major would help. If you want to invest in e-sports, then a finance degree.  Etc...
