Re: Go Pro? advice from Sbrugby
it's really ridiculous to think about how much internet guys make on an hourly basis...i think the average DOCTOR makes less than 60 dollars/hr
that's like a .10/.25 pro...

Re: Go Pro? advice from Sbrugby
The thing with college--as opposed to a trade--is that you're generally taking a huge financial risk in exchange for societal status and an "education" that is often a political indoctrination. I like Townsend in general.

Re: Go Pro? advice from Sbrugby
Like others said, it depends on the person and the situation. If you hate college and/or are paying for it yourself, then drop out. If you have a scholarship or someone else is footing the bill, switch to an easy major and just get the piece of paper. Also, there's no reason why a pro couldn't pay professors from a local college $30-40/hr for private lessons. This you you would learn more and it would be cheaper than enrolling (for most). Dropping out doesn't mean you have to be ignorant for the rest of your life.

Re: Go Pro? advice from Sbrugby
As someone currently at college, on a full time degree course; you have tonnes of free time!
Honestly it's like being unemployed.

Re: Go Pro? advice from Sbrugby
Anyone considering dropping out of college to play fulltime should be killing their game and be making at least 75k+ per year.
If that's you and you can see yourself playing poker fulltime and think it would make you happy then do it! There's nothing wrong with that, and I think that's what Brian was talking about. There's no reason for these ppl to stay in school if that's not where they want to be, when they can be doing something they love and making more than 75% of the population doing it.
