Gaming Skills Translated to Real Life

I read an interesting article some time ago about people who are listing video gaming experience on their resume's.  This might seem laughable, but I would argue that many skills commonly utilized in video games are applicable in real life.  I am going to attempt to think about some games across different genres and the skills required to be successful.

Game/Game Type:  Management games.  Games like Rollercoaster Tycoon or other "tycoon games," Theme Hospital, Cook, Serve, Delicious.

Skills:
1.) Multi-tasking.  Anyone who has ever played a management game has to have a knack for doing several things at once.

2.) Ability to prioritize.  Often you have to make snap decisions about what is currently the most important issue that must be dealt with.  A ride just broke down or you have to serve a meal to a celebrity who will give you a stellar review and attract more business to your restaurant.

3.) Managing employees.  In games like Rollercoaster Tycoon it's vital that you are able to move your employees to the areas of most need.  People are barfing all over the ground next to your uber-coaster.  Better move some custodians over there.

4.) Efficient planning.  Oftentimes players are faced with making things work with limited resources.  You've got to squeeze the most rides into a small land area or create a buzzing hospital in a cramped building.  You make it work!

5.) Problem solving.  Every management game forces players to come up with a myriad of ways to fix a crappy park, hospital, or town.  You design awesome coasters or create an efficient city.

Sounds kind of cool, right?
