他認(rèn)為他對游戲的熱愛處于低于上癮的等級。

His parents were concerned.

他的父母對此表示擔(dān)心。

Well, to say the least, they didn't like it very much.

好吧，至少可以說，他們并沒有非常喜歡它。

They said, "Stop it and focus on a real career."

他們說：“停下來，把注意力集中在真正的職業(yè)生涯上。”

But Jason thinks otherwise.

但杰森不以為然。

I am really sure it's a real career.

我很確定這是一個真正的職業(yè)。

And I think, maybe when I'm finished with my bachelor's degree...

而且我想，也許當(dāng)我完成了我的學(xué)士學(xué)位...

..probably two or so years from now,...

…或許從現(xiàn)在開始兩年左右...

...I may be able to find work pretty easily compared to most other industries.

.... 與大多數(shù)其他行業(yè)相比，我也許能非常輕松地找到工作。

So, I think I'll have a good future.

Jason is one of a growing number of students...

...seeking careers in the video gaming and technology industry.

He is in the game development program at Montgomery College in Maryland.

Deborah Solomon is a professor there.

The future of video gaming is very bright...

...because game technology is bleeding into virtually every other industry...

...from military to homeland security, to health care, biotechnology, advertising, even news.

She says the federal government is spending millions of dollars on game technology...

...for training and recruiting personnel in various agencies.

For example, the U.S. Army developed a series of video games called "America's Army".

The games, which can be downloaded free,...

..are designed to help young Americans explore careers in the army.
