Tough spot.

I was in a similar position to you and I chose poker, mainly because I don't think 9-5 5 days a week with 23 days holiday a year for 40 years constitutes much of an existence. If the worst came to the worst, I'd rather grind out SSNL than work in a real job. Very few jobs out there are actually enjoyable and regardless of the promotion opportunities, I'm sure most jobs in the financial world get very mundane very quickly.
