Default Re: Help a decrepit old fart dropout choose a new path in life

I don't know you so I am going from the assumption your at least a moderately successful poker player. At your age, with a full 4 years of school in front of you, and an entry level job waiting at the end of it, I would focus on starting some type of small business rather than going back to school. Save some money, do some market research, and take a stab at working for yourself.

If I thought you would finish the pharmacy degree I would say go for it, but you seem rather unmotivated, I doubt you'd finish it, and it's essentially a high payed cashiers job. No offense to any pharmacists. Study the market and try to find a niche in internet marketing. You may end up with a few small home based businesses that will net you far more than an entry level job that cost you 50k in college loans to get. Also your computer skills can help you on the technical side as you grow. This is not an anti-college rant, just at 30 with no credits I think you would be wasting your time.
