When choosing a career, you should generally ask yourself: "How will this help me if society collapses?".
The construction worker can still apply his skill to build things, the professional cook can attempt to make squirrel stew a bearable experience, even a musician can do menial tasks and enrich the lives of his community with mild entertainment.
What does a professional gamer or youtuber do for the community? You could argue that they provide entertainment now, but it's not the kind of entertainment that can persist if the world goes to shit for a while.
