Paid to teach gaming

[Dubh Aingeal]

Now this is how to make money from gaming:

"Expert videogame players, many of them teens, are forging professional careers as coaches, finding clients — many of them in their 20s or 30s — online, the Wall Street Journal reports. Some gigs pay $65 an hour. From the article: 'Gaming-lessons.com says its youngest "Halo 2" instructor is 8-year-old New Yorker Victor De Leon III — better known by his online gamer name, Lil Poison — who has given several lessons a month since late last year, fitting the classes in after he has done his homework. His father, also named Victor, says his son has used some of the money he earns from lessons (hourly rate: $25) to buy a hamster, named Cortana after a character in the game.'"

8-year-old New Yorker Victor De Leon III ... His father, also named Victor

No shit? So that's what the III after his name means. I bet the kid's grandfather is also named Victor. What a brilliant journalist to point that out to us.
