Default Re: very frustrated with telling people what I do

FWIW I can't remember the last time I had a negative reaction from anyone when I told them I played poker for a living. This includes a real estate agent and my current landlord. Most people's reaction is "wow, are you serious? I didn't think that was possible!" then it's "thats really cool, do you make much money?", then they find out I'm doing ok for a 20 year old backpacker. Commence normal conversation.
