A dream that never began...

Maybe I am playing devil's advocate a bit, but when faced with similar choices I have sought to make as many option-expanding choices as possible, as opposed to option-limiting.

Granted, I wasn't facing anything on the scale that it seems you are describing; nonetheless it is worth considering that, should you continue down the road to corporate law and pass the NY bar, all of the other options you are currently considering will continue to remain open to you for as long as you wish to consider them.

A lot of people are making a lot of money at hedge funds right now, but the mean is a hell of a lot higher than the median. Same is true for entrepreneurship, and definitely for a career playing poker. Only one of your current choices will not still be there, or at least not there as easily, 5 years down the road.

Then again who am I to say? I had an interview with Caxton in 1993 and didn't even know what a hedge fund was at the time...
