So Gaming does Nothing in Real Life?

I found this article and was LMAO, but was enjoying how people at IBM and Harvard are embracing gaming. On GameTab they said regarding World of Warcraft:

....As with any resume addition, the trick is to highlight the qualities that employers seek. Sure, raiding in World of Warcraft gives you sweet loot, but it also shows long-term planning, dedication, and the ability to work well with others. And if you're just getting into the job market and don't have a lot of relevant experience, this could be a huge help:

Guild Member, World of Warcraft. Participated as a member of a raiding guild over a two-year period. Consistently demonstrated punctuality, patience, good communication skills, and a team-oriented attitude to overcome shared challenges in a group setting........

I absolutely love this, the idea of identifying qualities about the person in what they do in gaming is a fantastic idea. I should start logging in how many things I plan in advance and how many bullets I think I need while playing Halo 3. But the point is this helps unite the world and make gaming less of a hobby to waste your money and have people roll their eyes at it.

You can't hurt yourself putting anything in the extra margin provided, so start on your gaming hobby if you have one.

So does writing here make me ideal for the town newspaper?
