North Carolina resident Blake Peebles is dropping out of high school to concentrate on You must login or register to view this content., and he's doing so with the full support of his parents.

"We couldn't take the complaining anymore," says parent Hunter Peebles. "He always told me that he thought school was a waste of time."

Instead, Peebles will be home schooled, and will use the extra time that affords his schedule to hit up bars, clubs and tournaments to make a living as a professional Guitar Hero gamer.

How much does that glamorous lifestyle make someone these days? To date, Peeble's biggest haul is 52 Chick-fil-A combo meals and a few gift certificates.

The average haul for one of the professional gamers mentioned in the original article is $25,000. Over eight years.

Well, if he goes pro, no shame. He could sign a deal and bam, make a big check, and get his GED. Just as good

or

if he fails miserably, shame on him.

He didn't drop out just to play Guitar Hero. That doesn't tell all the story, I read somewhere he has some illness and needs to stay at home. It's a sleeping disease I think is what it was.

Whatever makes you happy. He could make a deal with MLG and cash a big check. [or he could fail and look like even more of a loser]
