One more. Portfolio manager/trader. I can play up to 5 games a week, very few during earnings season.

Me and my two roommates sit around and play poker and do nothing all day, its the best summer job ive ever had. We are all 20 and have the freedom to do whatever whenever. My goal of a "Real job" is to buid up a bankroll and try daytrading during the day and poker at night. I'm a nuclear enginnering major who has realized that math sucks and I can make more doing this than operating an nuclear power plant...is that sad?

How can math suck when you make money playing poker? Makes no sense to me.

If you ever consider finishing your school - don't play poker while working. You might get a bad beat sometimes.

Really? You can make 80k starting, max out at 120k for the rest of your life? I feel like a sucker for getting my PhD, thinking an extra 2k a year from poker is HUGE, when I could be making 80k as a nuclear power plant operator. Any life plans that start out with "Me and my two roommates..." need to be rethought. Do the math. It'll pay off.

I dont want to sound greedy, but maxing out at 120 for the rest of my life doesnt seem that great to me. 50/hr full time gets you just over 100k a year and many do that now, I'm 4 tabling at the 20ish range with plenty to learn, but I will at least finish college and take it from there. Maybe law school, its seems thats the cool thing to do.

I like math and I like teaching, I just dont enjoy the engineering aspect as much as I thought such as mechanics and thermodynamics. Those are so unbelievably boring. Also, math a few levels past calc 3 gets so conceptual and is never used that it also loses any of my interest.
