Default Re: Quitting my job for poker was a great idea

I did not do well in English and honestly was very bored with school. I do not see how that makes it hard to divide odds that pertain to poker. Some on the other hand cannot add but can read a 1000+ page novel and love it (my wife for example) I would rather watch paint dry. I do not see what having a degree has anything to do with instinctive math skills.

I am not offended by the post at all. Some have that stereotype. I decided to join the workforce at 18 as my friends went off to school. At age 31 I can tell you I make more then anyone else I grew up with, college degree or not. How many of them can go to work without leaving the house? Drink a beer on the job? Take breaks whenever? Not have to put their child in daycare to work their job? Work whenever they feel like it? Or I guess most importantly, how many of them are happy with what they do?

I even just recently told my parents what I was doing and to my shock they were supportive.
