Esports have attracted considerable attention over the past few years and become an industry that is projected to continue to increase rapidly. Intersecting with the esports industry are organizations and businesses that develop and support the esports game experience. Included is the entrepreneurial spirit of gamers, who are interested in creating their own career paths through capturing and posting gaming microassists on different public venues that are driven by advertising dollars, invitational competition monetary winnings, and other forms of marketing their expertise for financial gain. All these organizations and industries form satellites of career opportunities as well as opportunities for research and enhanced forward\-leaning study. Such career opportunities can be explicitly addressed within the structure of university degree and micro\-credential certificate programs, some of which have begun to offer esports\-directed degrees, but most of which have not yet moved from esports clubs into a recognition of the business and industry monetization of esports.<\/p>
