Depends on several factors
your age
your financial situation(debt/school loans/overhead/etc)
your skill level and monthly earn playing poker
and the type of job you could have in place of poker

I'm slowly getting closer and closer to my 30s and have a fulltime job that pays in th 30s...if I could be a solid 200NL or high buy-in sit n go player of course I would do it...but I doubt I'd enjoy it that much.

It would afford me the ability to not work M-F 9am to 7pm and to move out of a city I hate and quit a job that overall is really lame, but I don't feel confident in the overall online poker world's future or in my ability to regularly beat those stakes in order to wager my entire future on it...especially when you consider having kids, a mortgage, a family down the road etc.

Now if I was playing and beating NL1000 or higher, 10/20, 20/40 limit or regularly beating high buy-in sit n gos and MTTS then thats a whole nother situation.

So basically if your young and the job you would have doesn't pay that well then go for it. But if your a bit older and or the job you would have pays 50K or higher...don't quit and just play on the side to pad your bank account and buy overpriced hookers.

To overcome the resume problem simply have a 1 or 2 day a week internship at something your interested in.
