30,000 dollars a month for a gaming journalist to talk about politics and history? My god i am jealous.

The guy has a history degree from Northwestern. He doesn't have a journalism degree. He doesn't have any formal training in media or writing. Video games was always a hobby for him. He created extensive FAQs that got him noticed by IGN, and got him an internshiop that helped pay for college. It turned into a lucrative career that he couldn't turn down. His passion has always been history and politics.
