Good luck on your quest. I hope things work out. I agree with the reply from JojoDiego. I spent 4 years at Washington State University and it was definitely the easiest, most fun time of my life. I basically screwed off, and often, and attend classes enough to graduate with a gpa of around 2.5. Nothing spetacular, but it got the degree. I urge you to stay in school, work on your poker game, and do enough to graduate. Someday, that degree could really help you land a job paying much more than one you'd find without the paper. While you attend the various courses, you could actually stumble across a career field you will actually enjoy. It would be a shame if you quit school, picked up all the "grown up" responsibilities, like a spouse, kids, mortgage, etc., and then have the poker thing take a crap. That would almost guarantee you a job that you hate, lousy pay, and a whole bunch of "what if's" regarding your decision to quit school early. Take it from an old, fat guy, get your degree, and then chase the dream. Good luck.

Also I think that it is worth saying that as much as I don’t [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] jason_t because he talks too much [censored], I think he has probably helped me at least as much if not more than any other poster on these forums to get to where I am today.

P.S. - Also a special thanks to Tricia Takanawa for the kind words of encouragement that helped motivate me to move up through the limits.

Tricia and I send our love and wish you the best of luck at 100/200.

I quit school to open a martial arts school after my first year in school.

Made a ton of money, then I got hurt which made it tough to do for a living. So I went back to school at 25. It still worked out for me, and I had more fun the second time when I was actually enjoying school vs working for a living.

Life is long, no decision is permanent, do what you love.

I had just quit my job at Staples to sell weed full time and decided to quit selling weed to live off of this game for the rest of the summer and avoid risking any felonies.

Hell, I dunno...I don't like the repeated "build up roll, blow roll" procedures, but I can't dispute the fact that you are a good HE player. Just don't let the lure of the big money grab you too quickly and you'll do fine. Discipline, new-san. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

thanks for all of the replies everyone, i see (as i thought) the general consensus in this thread is that i should stay in school, its still just a consideration i have a month or so to make the final descision, the way i see it, i can always go back if i need to and with the amount of effort i am likely to put into getting a degree it probably wont get me that great of a job anyway, but i will consider everyones thoughts when making my descision

Now a month in jail, I was not too worried about, but forty-five days in prison was not at all something that I was looking forward to.

stay in school.

not to be a douche.... but i'm not sure how, given your boom/bust cycle, you're feeling confident that this boom will last... particularly when you take shots at 100/200
