Might be forfeiting my WSOP Main Event seat, am I crazy?
Hello hello. Well as many of you know I won my WSOP seat in February for free, originally I didnt even plan on trying to qualify for it but just ran into it kind of. After winning I have reserved a flight, and hotel (about $1,000). So overall I am in this $1,000 and add about $500 for food/drink while in Vegas. I have been really excited about going and consider it a chance of a lifetime, especially if I brought my luckbox and got into the money. However, at best I think I would be 20% to make the money, 2x that of the straight mathematics. Anyhoo, now comes the problem. I am going to be a senior in college and have moved off campus and will need rent money for the year ($4K or so), now I have been set up with an interview for the Massachusetts government for a 3 month seasonal job that pays $20,000. This is unreal wages for summer employment and is about 3x that of what I could get elsewhere, however, they would likely not be able to allow me the week for the WSOP off and I am actually thinking about not going for the sake of the job as it is a guaranteed $20K + a good resume booster. Am I crazy for considering skipping the WSOP?
