Re: so i\'ll have a law degree soon...

Nobody goes to law school for the year 1 salary, they go for the potential for partner level salary. A partner at a decent sized law firm in a major city will out earn 99% of professional poker players.

i understand that the idea is to make partner eventually but 1. a pretty small % of lawyers actually end up making partner (i think around 10-15% or so) 2. you won't make partner until you have been worked to the bone for 10-15 years

If you don't like the Law why are you in school? Unless the parents are paying for a freeroll - .

no - i like the law and enjoy very much learning about it. it is fascinating. that is actually the problem - i like learning about it but if i want to actually apply it to a career i'd have to wade through a bunch of BS before i could actually do the stuff i want (e.g. have my own clients and litigate their cases myself). also, i am paying for it 100% by myself with poker.
