Default Re: How many of you people actually have real jobs?

I am a process Engineer in a plastic injection molding factory where I've worked full time for for about 15 years. I make decent money and have great benifits, but now that I have found poker I am starting to dream about someday losing the job and doing this full time. I just started playing in SNG's and some tourneys about a month ago and have already made about $3K. Not sure if that is good, great or so so but for just starting out I think my game will only get better. I'm going to see how this goes and hopefully someday totally rely on poker as my sole income... however having to pay for my own insurance would really suck... and paying taxes on my earnings would suck too. You do have to pay taxes don't you?
