i was dating this chick in the mortgage loan business, she was always getting on me about how playing poker semi pro(i just work part time) was sooo risky and irresponsible. she obv is flipping out because that whole industry just went to the crapper. not much is guaranteed in a free market economy. being a winning player at a level that pays well enough to make a nice living(and save money/invest) is probably as close to a guaranteed income as you can get

Anybody with a college degree can retool relatively easily to another line of work, in the possible but unlikely event that your entire industry goes to crapper. What is a poker player going to do when poker popularity wanes and the fish simply refuse to part with as much money as they used to, while the number of 50NL sharks keeps growing? Townsend will probably never be out of work, but a lot of 50NL sharks are on the margins of the poker economy.
