Re: Why I would quit my job if I won the Big One

College is a great place to learn to interact with your peers, but it's a terrible place to learn how to interact with anyone else. Coming to terms with one's own morality and compassion comes though interacting with the largest possible cross-section of humanity, and I think poker offers this more than college ever could.

I think this is a serious stretch, especially if we're playing with online poker. I think your point about college teaching you how to interact with pretty much just your peers is a really solid one, but what cross-section of the world are we really seeing in online poker, and how much are we interacting with them? Not so much, for the most part, on both counts.
EDIT: Also, I'd say that the people that one learns from, say, here, constitute a peer group in another fairly valid sense.
