If you're going into the job with this attitude there is no way you're gonna progress through the ranks as you seem to think you automatically will. You sound like a typical naive 23-year-old who hasn't been in the real world yet. Everyone that age or younger was the same. Making 500k a year at poker is laughable. You've gotta be bankrolled to handle the swings if you plan on playing stakes high enough to generate that kind of bank. Maybe you can. I don't know your situation or skill level. You're not gonna know if you have the right temperament to be pro until you play hour after hour, day after day for your livelihood. In some ways it takes a twisted, hyper-competitive, persistent individual with an undying self-belief. I don't know if you're tough enough given your background.
