Re: I\'m thinking of quitting my job
 

A friend of mine who was burned out on real estate law switched to legal recruiting. Take a look at the field and see if this might be a good change of pace for you.

I myself work in legal publishing (IANAL; newsletter typesetting), and from what I can gather, if you are willing to put in the hours, a law degree is a license to print money once you pay your school debt. The current poker craze may fade, but people will hire lawyers until the sun goes red giant.

The first down swing is rough. 4 weeks after I quit my job to play poker I took a 200bb swing at 5/10. Its FAR more stressful without a second income source.

Can you take a 3 month sabbatical and try it without the full commitment?

I was a college student with a $10/hr full time job about 8 months ago and I wouldnt quit my crappy job until I had at least 40k in the bankroll. $14,000 simple is not enough money to live off. If you do have vacation time or can take a month off, I suggest you do this.

don't quit your job till you have a 100K hand sample size, after that, up to you man.
