I am about to graduate college and am thinking about spending a year playing poker in order to save up money to pursue a law degree or phd. How difficult is it to actually play full time for a while? Possible issues include:
- 40 hrs a week of poker = burnout
- Downswings are very stressful if br is used to pay rent
- Job is extremely antisocial and provides no useful experience for future career
- No health/dental insurance coverage

With all these things in mind, I decided that I don't want to do this unless I can make at least 120,000 in a year. Suppose that with various bonuses and significant rb I run exactly 2bb/100 playing 3 tables SH at a time at 5/10, and that I am currently at 5/10 b/c I don't yet have the br for 10/20 (which is to say, I may eventually be able to play higher). Is it possible to make 120,000+ without burning out?
