Schoonmaker "Don't Quit Your Day Job" (yeah, it's long)

[Liam Carver]

Hey Qtip, I know we haven't been formally introduced, but I am a fan of your posts.

My suggestion would be to pick a couple of your bills, and for two months practice paying them off with your part-time poker earnings - Just to get the feel of what it is like to have that money coming out of your online bankroll on a regular basis. I am a guy who has built two businesses on his main hobbies, and I can tell you, when the mortgage is due and you are needing to bring in the money...well, I can't say it feels the same. I wish I could tell you to go for it, but it is unwise to underestimate how life changes when the hobby that fills your life with excitement and a feeling of achievement outside of work, becomes a ball and chain - work. Good luck with your decision.

Liam
