Default Re: Should I go Pro? #132890213 (long)

As a current NU student who went through the same thought process, I recommend you try to stay in school. I don't know what your major is, but when it comes time for co-op do some 20 hour a week internship. My first two co-ops were both closer to 10 to 15 hours a week and I had all the time in the world to play poker. (My last one was ESPN Radio in Charlestown).

You can't spend all your time playiner poker. You need to interact with people. You have one week left at school. Get out, go to parties, find random hoookups. While in school it shouldn't be that difficult (depending on major) to take 4 classes and play 15 hours a week of poker, while still having time to enjoy a social scene.

You could even do a 4 year program with no co-op and have the worlds longest summers.

Good luck with what ever you decide and PM if you want my screenname.
