Considering training to be a dealer -- any thoughts?

I would imagine most dealers wouldn't want to tell how much they make because they actually do make pretty good money and they fear their tips would suffer if people knew just how much they make. That's not to say they're living it up, but I think they make more than they let on.

From what I hear, it really depends on where you work. What state (not particular casino), what stakes in that state, etc. Here in CO we get no more than minimum wage for a "salary". You're working for tokes. I won't go into exact numbers, but I do pretty well part time right now.

I've heard that LA and Vegas are terrible places to deal - just hearsay though, not personal experience.
