Re: A Note to \"WannaBe\" Pros
Bleh, this post has sort of devolved into a college/no college debate, which wasn't the point sfb was trying to make.
I went to college, and I'm almost done with my MS (CS). I've been 'working for the man' for about 9 years. It's going well for me. I enjoy the work, etc. It's not for everyone though, I know plenty of people who would hate what I do.
But that's not the point either. The key to what sfb is saying is to have options. Noone wants to be painted into a corner and feel like they have no choice in the way they live their life.
Without reads, I say college is +EV. But, everyone has their own dream to chase and muse to follow. I have lots of friends who dropped out and are doing just fine. Just go into it with your eyes open, and make your own decisions based on the information you have.
Most of the folks on the list are young enough to bounce back if they hit a wall, with poker, college, work, life, etc.
