People survive on minimum wage and other low paying jobs. I think you could make a living playing 3/6 to 5/10 limit if you're willing to put in the hours. I think it would be a horrible job but possible. Maybe fun for a year of your life after school, but after that...

Yeah, who would want a job where you sit on your ass all day, indoors, guzzle free beer all day, work flexible hours, watch tv if you want, get a free lunch included, have no boss to report to, have the ability to move to another workplace if you don't like your "co-workers", and can never be fired?
Sounds like pure hell.

Well when you put it that way...
Of course the reality is you're doing a mindless robotic job (which is what low-limit play would become) for 40+ hours a week for not very much money. You're probably working all weekend because thats when the best games are and you can make the most money. You don't really make any friends at 'work'. You meet some new interesting people, but you meet a lot of focking [censored]. You have to be able to handle weeks where you make nothing, and have the discipline to save money when you run extremely hot. Your health suffers because you're spending so much time at the table, drinking and eating crap.
I'll take my intellectually stimulating, rewarding, higher paying job any day of the week.
