wall street with a mediocre grades from a community college....good luck with that.
no my bad, you are sending him to grad school first? what is he going to do there and where do you think he will be admitted?

I went from Marymount Manhattan College (you've never heard about it for many good reasons) to a top 10 law school following exactly the same path that I just told him to do. The college you go to means maybe 1/3 as much as the grades you get there, which in turn mean 1/3 as much as the LSAT for law school and 1/3 as much as work experience for B-school. In the meantime, four years of actually having to study at a real school costs somebody with AJ's talent at least half a million dollars, if not more than that. These are not numbers you make up with slightly increased career prospects or whatever unless you go to Harvard (and probably not then/Harvard won't take him anyway.)

If he feels like quitting poker and applying himself 100% to school/poker looks like it's going to die, he can do it four years from now when the quality of the school he goes to actually matters.
