You can get paid for playing the video games you love if you can find a sponsor. Major online game companies hire expert players to talk to other players and assist them in achieving higher levels in the games. The downside to this job is that the hours can be long, you may have to play as many as 16 hours per day and since you are acting as an independent contractor, there are no employee benefits. On the plus side, you get to work from home, you may get the newest versions of the game to test and you can make as much as $50,000 per year.
