Re: Should I finish college? (long)
I'm not sure why noone mentioned this yet but...
You said you wanted to start your own biz. I imagine it would be easier for you to get a small biz loan if you had a degree. It would look like you actually can finish something. It would also look good for other people who would like to become partners with you.
Also you don't have to work a 9 to 5 job. You could become a consultant. This would give you the social interaction you recognized that you would be missing by being a pro poker player, while also not having to work a 9 to 5 job, and having complete flexibility.
What exactly are the cons to staying in school for one more year? You haven't listed any?
What are the pros of dropping out? you haven't listed any of those either
Ok so the only cons I see are: having to cram for a few tests and turn in some homework.
pros for dropping out: a few extra bucks this year. Thats it. You aren't hurting for money obviously.
