Re: Advice From Current Pros- Quit a $100K Job? (long)
You gotta remember, your making 110k, but with benefits, IE insurance, vacations, bonuses, other perks, your making signficantly more than that. There isn't a large chance "having a down swing." Most people don't really enjoy their jobs. But then again if poker becomes your job, you might not eventually like it either.
I love poker, in moderation, but if I had to do it ~40 hours a week, especially online, I think I could get bored after a couple of weeks. You might be different, but like someone said, try it out for 3 months. If you still love and the money is good, quit your job, otherwise, you took a relatively cheap experiment in what would happen if you did poker on full time.
I can't remember in your post, but if your wife works and receives insurance this could definitely be a lot easier of a transition.
