Poker discourages me from staying in college

[dogmeat]

Hey Anony,

I quit going to school to play blackjack and poker full time when I was half-way through. I'm 46 and finishing my degree just for the hell of it (I play poker and write for a living now). It would have been a lot easier to just go another two years and finish when I was 21.

College should be a great time in your life - plenty of friends, and lots of fun. Most college students feel there is a lot of pressure and it's too hard, but as you age, you find other things in life can be hard also.

I have a mortgage, two daughters in college, and a four-year old. My wife works and we have a comfortable lifestyle, but which do you think is tougher; college, or raising a family?
