[/ QUOTE ] ok the two i know who are in their 2 years and on track to be making 7 figures within 4... they both work for companies so are fully staked, one has a special deal with a small trading firm in chicago and gets something sick like 50% of his trades (which he does mostly with high net worth private clients) on top of some 200-300k ish salary i'm unsure of, and the other gets 7-10% of his book, but he trades with companies rather than people so his book is much larger. they both actually lurk 2p2 so maybe they want to chime in, but probably won't see this. anyway it's real and it isn't easy, but if oyu're good and smart, which i assume jason will be and is (same with many of us), it's definitely doable.

Re: Say goodbye to the dream
who says I only play poker for a income?
I just think its silly for el diablo to call me out like that since he barely knows me. Speically since I think he misintrepeted me in the first place. In my orignial post I was implying that jason making 7 figures a year in poker is better than making 60-100k per year trading imo. Im guessing thats what he could make in poker per year. Obv. I underestimated trading a little, I pretty much just took his estimates for it.

[/ QUOTE ] I'd bet on Don having a much more enjoyable time for the next ten years while still being very secure financially, although "enjoyable" is obviously relative. Not saying its the "smarter" route, but ten years is a long time and we only live so long. Getting stuck grinding a job you hate can be hell. Obviously being irresponsible and not having a whole lot of anything 10 years (or much farther down the road) from now can be much worse of an outcome, but I don't see that happening to either of them. I hope you enjoy your job Jason, and best of luck to you. If you realize that its not what you want to be doing, and you still want a career away from poker, I'm sure you know that there are many other options available to you.

Re: Say goodbye to the dream
There are certainly more interesting things to do with your life than to play poker. I'm not sure that trading financial securities is one of them.

Re: Say goodbye to the dream
Jason,
Glad to hear about your decision, sounds great. I'm a freshman at usc, and would love to work as a trader after college. Any insight on what kind of classes to take, what major to declare, places to look for internships, etc? Anyone, feel free to chime in. -Mr.Muni
