Umm like no software engineers make 300k, very very few anyway. You're looking at 80k tops intro and kind of a low ceiling.

Plus, coding really blows, and poker does not. Actually, poker does blow, but at least it's more enjoyable than being a code monkey.

As an ex-software engineer who is now an online tournament pro I can safely Q this for MFT, even though I think OP was probably trolling at least a little.

I went to school for CS and realized my sophomore year I was never going to be able to handle sitting in front of a computer coding all day for a job, especially with such limited advancement opportunities in the field. I was looking at working 60 hour or more weeks and intro salaries under 100k with a cap of probably only 150k or so, [censored] that [censored] I want to be balla

Now I sit in front of the computer all day anyway, but at least it's kinda by choice.
