Default Re: poker pro - hardest job there is?

LOL selection bias posting this on a poker forum.

It is very hard though. The "autopilot" people talk about can only be obtained through extensive hard work and one can never be truly on autopilot like you could at most other jobs.
The fact that you can actually lose money is pretty important, and while it isn't the hardest job in the world, it takes a certain type of person to handle the myriad factors involved in professional poker playing, while most people could half-ass their way through the vast majority of occupations at least well enough to not get fired
