Re: Why should I finish my college degree? (I really want you to tell

As soon as you start playing 'professionally' the 'fun' aspect will evaporate quickly. Now maybe this does not matter to you, but it certainly did for me.
Oh yeah, I forgot, you can have a whole lot of fun in college, but not if you are stuck to your computer chair all day...

Dude,
Financial security is not the only aspect of a "good" life. While it makes living the good life a lot easier, you may not necessarily find a professional poker career as fulfilling as you do now. I like what sethypooh is trying to say. You're 18 and in college. Some people look back and remember these days as the best and most free of their lives. Don't throw away what little remains of your childhood by trying to map out your entire future. I say, take a brief hiatus from poker, return to it as a hobby in a month or so, finish school, and then, after your 4 years are up, reexamine your position in life. A lot can change in the next couple of years. No matter how much planning you do, nothing is set in stone.
