Re: I\'m thinking of quitting my job
A friend of mine who was burned out on real estate law switched to legal recruiting. Take a look at the field and see if this might be a good change of pace for you.
I myself work in legal publishing (IANAL; newsletter typesetting), and from what I can gather, if you are willing to put in the hours, a law degree is a license to print money once you pay your school debt. The current poker craze may fade, but people will hire lawyers until the sun goes red giant.

Re: I\'m thinking of quitting my job
The first down swing is rough. 4 weeks after I quit my job to play poker I took a 200bb swing at 5/10. Its FAR more stressful without a second income source.
Can you take a 3 month sabbatical and try it without the full commitment?

Re: I\'m thinking of quitting my job
I was a college student with a $10/hr full time job about 8 months ago and I wouldnt quit my crappy job until I had at least 40k in the bankroll. $14,000 simple is not enough money to live off. If you do have vacation time or can take a month off, I suggest you do this.
