I dont know why ppl want to play poker to get away from school. University is probably the best time of your life. I dropped out of math about 3 years ago and am now planning on going back for science at the age of 25. If I could go pro it would be to support my schooling not leave it behind. As a pro you could go to university to do what you are actually supposed to be doing there, learning and challenging yourself without all the baggage associated with graduating and finding a job. Idealistic, but if I turned pro thats what I would do.
