North Carolina resident Blake Peebles is dropping out of high school to concentrate on playing Guitar Hero full-time, 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.

Parents should have him taken away from them.. Sad they would rather listen to him less than do whats right for him. When he is living undera bridge in 15 years maybe they will realise what a mistake they made.. Dont drop out of school AnalThunder

Depends if he's 16 or older, then there's nothing they can say, if he's under 16 then they need to take a belt to his ass!!!
