Default Re: Poker as a living. How to deal with my family?

I'm an english teacher who travels to other countries to teach (currently in Mexico). I enjoy playing poker and have found a hobby that pays for itself and then some. But if I had to play 8-10 hours a day everyday to support myself I'd blow my brains out. There's a lot of jobs that you can do which would be more fulfilling than poker (and pay better). Playing poker hour after hour isn't fun, it's a grind. Stay in school and find something that you would be interested in doing for the rest of your life.
