Hello, Agele !
I think it's wonderful that you are starting to think about careers and want to incorporate your interests into a most enjoyable possible future position ! Thanks for asking .
I have two suggestions for a possible future career for you related to your interests. One would be to go into Business and the other is to consider becoming a High School Physical Education Teacher and Coach. By doing one of these careers, you will never have to forsake playing video games because you can play them anytime. So lets explore what you'd need to do to have a fine path towards these careers.
To become a professional in the Business world, you would first attend college as a Business Major student and obtain your Bachelors Degree in Business Management. This would open doors for you to manage or own your own video arcade or company that sells video game related products.
In order to become a high school Physical Education Teacher and High School Sports Coach in your state of Kansas, you would go for a Bachelors Degree and major in Physical Education, Exercise Science or Health Education. You would get experience student teaching in a high school while in college. You would then take and pass a Phys Ed exam called PRAXIS II Content Assessment. Then you would apply for your teaching license -
a Restricted Teaching License which will allow you to teach physical education under supervision of a Physical Education teacher in a High School. You will need to complete a Practical Training Program, obtain a PE teacher job at a high school that accepts Restricted Teaching Licenses, and when you complete all of your coursework and experience, you can apply for your Teaching License.
Soccer and Video Games are really cool and fun, but they're not careers, however they can be a big part of a career. As time goes on, you will be able to make decisions about what career you really want. Give it some time. Do some exploring so that you can choose the career that will provide satisfaction for you.
Best wishes in all you do !

Hi Agele,
I LOVE video games as well!
So with your interests being video games and soccer, you can take one of three routes:
Route #1 — Professional Soccer
You can pursue a career in professional soccer and play during college to help get you there.
Route #2 — You can pursue a career in the Video Gaming industry
Some of these include:
Game Designer
Video Game Programmer
Game Animator and Artist
Video Game Writer
Audio Engineers and Sound Designers
Video Game Tester
Now of course, to pursue a career in the video gaming industry, you will need to attend college or complete an intensive technical bootcamp to learn the necessary skills required to be successful in this industry.
Route #3 — Have both!
You can pursue them both! You can do one part-time as supplemental and the other full-time! It’s all your choice and the possibilities are endless!
Wishing you the best!
