Re: (Way OT) What are you graduating seniors doing?
I'm starting at Google in August. The idea of working with hundreds of the smartest people on the planet to solve some insanely difficult problems appeals many times more than playing in the same poker games all day.
As much as I love poker, I need to see faces everyday, need to see a wide variety of intellectual puzzles, and love having a solid fixed salary with benefits out the ass. It'll be a much better lifestyle for me, even if I'm technically working for somebody else.
If I weren't so sure of what I wanted to do, or didn't have any good job offers, I think taking a year or two at poker to make some money and live it up would be a good call. It would suck to spend my entire 20s grinding 9-5 in some job that made me want to vomit. I'd at least put some scratch together with a year or two of poker so that I could live decently and get my investments jump-started. I'm too young to be poor.
