i have to let my school district know if i am coming back to my teaching job by March 1. should i go back, or take another year of leave to pursue life as a professional poker player?

Dear bob,

Are you happy as a poker player? Poker is a pretty straightforward job. Besides learning more games and getting deeper into the strategy, there's not a lot of surprises in store for you. That having been said, depending on your earn, you can do pretty much anything you want with your spare time. For a lot of people, that's enough to offer a happy life.
