Default Re: The New Education - Dropping Out to Play Poker Article

Because dropping out to take drugs and follow a band around is so passé...







Seriously, though, my response as an ancient 42 year old (and parent) is that the author would be better off just finishing his degree. There will always be poker, especially with the ubiquity of online games and the expansion of casino gambling into almost every part of the country. Poker isn't going away, but you are only young once, and it's much easier to complete a college degree when you're young and otherwise unencumbered. And a college degree is a nice thing to have. It may be heresy to say it, especially on this site, but there is much more to life than playing poker.
