How is this wasting your life? These guys are young - instead of working low paid, boring jobs to pay off student debt and finance an alcohol addiction they're doing something they love, travelling the world, making some money, all while they're barely out of high school. None of these guys will have any problems getting into a reputable university if they choose to study, and they are even building their own brands & networks (through sponsors etc) that they can use once they stop playing.
