Default Re: Thoughts on dropping out of school...

Here's some random thoughts....

- Stay in school.

- There's nothing that says you can't play poker AND attend college.

- When you're 18-21 yrs old - you have ZERO understanding of the relative value of money in the real world. What seems like at lot of money at 18 yrs old will seem like pennies in 10 years.

- Those not motivated enough to stay in school and complete a degree and not likely going to be motivated to adapt to a changing world of poker. When the games change and you aren't motivated to learn new strategies to beat them - then what are you gonna do? McD's?

- I don't think the previous item can be stressed enough. You got burned out on school - what makes you think you're not going to get burned out on poker.

- It's overstated, but true... You're going to regret not finishing your degree in the future.

- Don't think that if you leave now you'll ever return. Do you really want to be a lonely 35 yr old going back to college with a bunch of 18-20 somethings. All the older people I attended college with seemed miserable in life.
