Re: Anyone quit their job to play poker full time and now they think t
your personality type MUST be appropraite for that type of lifestyle- being able to work alone (very tough for some), self motivation, and a true passion for poker since moneymaking is not enough of an incentive imo (it might be for a selected few but very rare).
the contribution part to society is quite easy- if you're a doctor/nurse/firefighter please don't quit your dayjob(just being selfish), as a politician/telemarketer/spammer please do!
as for most of us who have/had regular jobs, we don't really contribute to society.
as a former option trader i'm basically doing the same thing with the exception i enjoy what i'm doing now [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] and when i screw people out of their $$$ they're to blame since all the info is in front of them not in the back offices and fine print of an agreement.
didn't care if i won/lost 100k a day at the firm now i give a damn about my decisions (and outcomes) and (unforunately) care alot over +-100$).
