Good advice, thx.

You're right: I am at the beginning of a learning curve. But I am ready to do whatever it takes to master the game(s).

first, get a job, even if its part time. at least if you ever decide to go to a more formal interview, there wont be a huge gap of unemployment to be questioned.

second, you mentioned playing on regular hours, this is proven to be not your maximized +EV, you play only when you have an edge, whether that means for 3 minutes, or for 3 days.

i tried to go pro during my summer (i am an 18 yr old engineering student) for a month, i made some good money but i burned out and it was a very valuable learning experience. hopefully you will understand that what you say sounds romantic and give you freedom, but it is in fact a different kind of ball and chain.
