Re: A Note to \"WannaBe\" Pros
It's a good idea to have a backup plan, but that doesn't have to be a college degree. Anyone who dropped out of college to go pro probably isn't corporate material anyway, and these days that's what a degree usually prepares you for.
Instead, always keep your eyes open for a new opportunity. Maybe you'll find something that earns more than poker, or maybe, God forbid, something you enjoy doing everyday. Learn about realestate, open a strip club, etc. If you made the jump to go pro, you've already had to deal with all they naysayers, and that's something most people never find the courage to do. You're already ahead of most "normal" people.
