Re: Screw it All, I\'m Going Pro

Yah, I'm shamelessly bumping this thread.

I got a lot of PMs and other random support from a lot of people, and I really appreciate it. My old job asked me to stay a touch longer, and I obliged -...

Re: Screw it All, I\'m Going Pro

fitnessfreak - awesome, appreciated.

Grunch - Your point is valid, and I'm not just trying to reject everyone's advice. I'm trying to further explain that I feel I have solid career options should...

Re: Screw it All, I\'m Going Pro

LJ - I'll keep this in mind. Perhaps I'm arrogant in regards to the contacts I've made and the skills I have, I'll spend some time thinking on this. If/when I go back, I probably won't be doing IT...

Re: Screw it All, I\'m Going Pro

I'll certainly keep folks updated good or bad. I have a couple weeks left here so no major updates over the next little bit. I agree with the timing of this not being great, but part of this is that...

Re: Screw it All, I\'m Going Pro

Oh, yah - I agree 100%, it's not a monetary thing, it's a life satisfaction thing. I just wanted to make sure there wasn't something blatantly obvious I was just failing to grasp is all.

Re: Screw it All, I\'m Going Pro

cheer -

Maybe I'm missing something obvious. My tax bracket will not change based on my type of work, so whether or not I make 50k doing IT work or 50k playing cards, it's the same thing right? My...

Re: Screw it All, I\'m Going Pro

Thanks guys again for all the advice.

My woman is great to me, she's so totally on board it's mind boggling. She really just wants me to be happy, and sees that I'm not satisfied with the way my...

Re: Screw it All, I\'m Going Pro

kil -

I'm planning on doing 2 daily sessions about 2 hours each (roughly 1000 hands/session). Do you break it up like that, or do you just go for one big session?

Also, what times of days do...

Re: Screw it All, I\'m Going Pro

I hear you tufat, I hope to get up there. I want to ease into it though, as playing just after work a few nights a week I only do like 15k/month as things stand lately, so I want to ramp up over a...

Re: Screw it All, I\'m Going Pro

The impending doom does factor in. I've thought about it, and I feel confident I can return to work in IT after a period of time if I need to. I have a decent resume and I show well, etc. (blah blah...

Re: Screw it All, I\'m Going Pro

Thanks guys. I recently turned down a job for close over 60 doing VoIP Engineering, but I realized I just don't [censored] like this crap anymore. I'm good at it I guess, but I don't like it.

Screw it All, I\'m Going Pro

SSNL - I need some support and advice. I love a good trainwreck as much as anyone, but I'm asking folks to treat this thread seriously and try to refrain from mean comments (boohoo etc).
