I gotta bring you out when i break it to the family!!

This is exactly what i'm saying... Have fun, do what you love, and then turn that [censored] into something else you're going to love.
Hell, if you're that hellbent on finance, use the poker money to go to Harvardish MBA, Harvardish FInance, etc then you can make the sick loot too. A lot easier than fighting your way through the ranks.

I guess the question is this: given the same FV of money in 20years, would you rather play poker online or work in finance. Truthfully both have their strengths and weaknesses, but i'm thinking waking up when i want, where i want, and listening to whom i want is a pretty good gig.
But will poker be a fun when you need the money?
