Former Overwatch League pro Daniel ‘Dafran’ Francesca has quit his ‘real job’ after just two weeks because of how much “harder” it was than streaming.
The debate about whether ‘real’ jobs are harder than streaming on Twitch has been a contentious one. Back in February,Hasan and Asmongold came under firefor arguing that being a streamer came with certain difficulties not present in other professions.
Since then, the discussion has died down a bit… but on May 21, Twitch star Dafran revealed that he couldn’t last a fortnight at a construction gig where he worked 37 hours a week.
“I quit my job. I lasted 2 weeks. Working 37 hours a week job is WAY harder than streaming. I am glad I tried it. Now I can appreciate how good I have it streaming,” Francesca revealed.

Two weeks prior, the 30-year-old Danish streamer celebrated one of his first days on the job with apicture showing him decked out in construction attirestanding in front of a pile of wooden pallets. He also revealed he would be using a truck certificate he had achieved.
Francesca has had quite a history of working odd jobs during streaming breaks. Prior to the construction work, Dafran wasdoing food deliverywhile working ongetting a forklift license.
Instead of staying in school for four years, however, he quit to begin doing unpaid work for an experienced farmer in order to “learn the basics,” and soon thereafterbought his own farm.

However, Dafran’s farming career didn’t take off, and despite trying his hand at other gigs over the years, it’s pretty clear that the Dane is content with just being a streamer.
“I will stream until I can’t anymore,” he said after quitting his latest venture.
