This is not recommended. Even if you are really good at Guitar Hero, it’s not worth dropping out over.
North Carolina native Blake Peebles, there’s no such thing. Guitar Hero is his title of choice. “I usually play till I can’t anymore,” he says, in this profile from the News & Observer.
In fact, young Mr. Peebles is dropping out of high school… in order to focus on Guitar Hero full time. Peebles hopes to join the small but growing crew of players looking to make gaming a job. Citing his victories in Guitar Hero tournaments, which include “gift certificates, gaming equipment, and chicken sandwiches,” Peebles thinks he has the chops to play competitively and earn actual money in the process. As the story notes, top gamers on the competitive circuit can earn up to $80,000 a year (though $25,000 is more common). Peebles, of course, can count his 52 Chick-fil-A combo meals toward that total.

If people can drop out of school to play CS, they can drop out to play guitar hero :)
