Well, not in real life, of course.

Pertaining to this, there is a rising demand for professionals in this field, from artists to programmers to designers to audio engineers. There are many exciting job roles available, which are not just about playing games but about creating them.
Let’s have a look at some of the rewarding careers in the gaming industry
Game Designer
They are the architect of games and their work includes planning and defining all the elements of the game: its setting, rules, environment, story flow, levels, characters, vehicles, weapons, etc. Game designers visualise the game concept over which the overall game is then made with the help of programmers, animators, producers and audio engineers.
They also do the initial market research in order to ensure that people would enjoy playing the game concept they are building. They work in collaboration with the whole team and supervise them to make sure the game experience meets with their original concept.
Education Required: A Bachelor’s in Game Design will help you get in but having a B.Tech in Computer Engineering/Computer Science can also be fruitful.
