Parents say Quit Poker...FBI

[FGators]

I had a talk with my parents today. They understand my dedication and love for poker (probably an addiction). I am planning on applying for a position as a special agent in the FBI. I am a senior in college and seem to have all the qualifications that the federal job wants.

they told me though that the FBI looks down on any form of "gambling" which obviously many would say poker goes along with. I have thought of this but haven't placed too much into it.

Along with poker I am a blackjack player (occ.) and a sports bettor.

Does this basically mean all this enjoyment I get has to be abruptly quit?

Sorry I am making this kind of short. I'm tired as hell, this is on my mind and thought it would be helpful to wake up to some early repsones to this dilemma.

I would love the potentail job but I don't see how sports betting/poker can NOT be in my life.
