Re: Beat: People think I\'m a Bum. BBV, help me Brag?
I'm not exactly a professional poker player, but I make my living from poker-related activities ... so I guess my situation is a little different but also similar. I finished college.
But that being said, I'm "taking time off" from law school. In all honesty, I don't know whether I'm going back. I don't have to decide until December (I could also put it off longer), but I think a lot of it will depend on the legal issues and how things look like they'll pan out. I can't stick with a failing market (by that I mean the advertising budgets of the major sites in the US) that is facing so much negative gov't attention forever. I'd love to stay in the poker world if possible though.
To bring this back on point with the thread, I'm in a weird situation. A lot of people are like "WTF not in school anymore?" and I try to fill them in on what I do. I think people understand my business pretty well, so most people don't look at me like I'm a bum. Some people don't really get it though -- that's usually when I break out a brag or two. I don't like leaving people with the impression that I'm struggling when I'm not.
