My girlfriend offten acuses me of being "The dude", then she imitates "Job?"

Welpers, if the money is better on the poker table, I just can't understand grinding away at a real job. Honestly I never had a job I liked better then sitting my butt all day playing poker. Sometimes it's stressfull, and somtimes it's a grind, but never worse then any real job I've ever had.

If you want structure, then why not set a schedule for your self. This would be more consistant with a student life any how As a student you have to be self modivated, and work when there's no boss standing behind you.

Also, think about how well poker works with being a student. Like, you can play poker when you have time, and not allways having to balance 2 schedules.

If you're interested in a prop job, we need players who want to play at 7 am PST. You get .15 at 3/6, .18 at 4/8, .20 at 5/10, and .25 at 10/20, all per hand. Then you could pretend that you have a real job that you have to set your allarm clock for.

If you're inerested e-mail me : aeon_blues@freakradio.org

'Cause some people have a tendancy to like to have a sense of doing something of value with their lives.

That's pityful. I'm very sorry to hear that.

As to the origional poster -- what do you want to do with your life? Maybe if you tell us what your goals are we can give you some advice.

On the flip side ... being young and not having many debts or responsibilities . . now is a perfect time to do something really odd and unique. Go have an adventure.

You can do anything from being a merchant marine and seaing some pretty wild foreign ports for a few months to working a soup kitchen .. to ... well .. whatever ... the only limits are your desires.

So ... what do you want to do? What adventures have you always dreamed of having? Now's the time to take your shot. Pack your bags and do something wild! Once you have debts and a family the chance is gone . . . so who do you want to be?

I agree with the suggestions of volunteer work, they will build your resumé in a way naff jobs won't.

I also wanted to draw jovial attention to the quote:

A typo that actually improves the sentence. I like!

I totally agree. Go to Thailand, Costa Rica, or somewhere else cheap and have a ball while you can. I did this for 7 months in 2001 and never regretted the experiences I've had and perspectives I've gained. The world's huge - get out of the office while you can!

In addition, it also looks good on the resume...travelling says: risktaker, confident, and well rounded. My travels helped me get my current job.
