All very good points. First let me say yes my grammer was very bad in my first
post (as it is in most of my posts becasue I don't pay attention to it)I was not
saying I will make more money at the poker table than with my degree although
once I get out of school I will have more money which will let my play higher
limits. I plan on getting a job at the time of writing this. My entire post was
not about me becoming a pro poker player it was about knowing that even if I
decided to do that and it didn't work I would still have a way to make good
money and be happy in life. That was the main focus of my post and I'm sorry if
it didn't get through.
