I'm going to keep investing my money, and probably withing a few years I'll get a job or start something myself (or maybe go back to school).

Money is inconsequential at this point in life. The return you will get on investing in your skill base will be much greater than the return on money.
Yes, you can get a job, but it is much more lucrative to have a career. Hopping on the career path at a later age is much more difficult than doing it when you are young.
If you were to plot your net present value of your lifetime earnings from a decent career it will in all likelihood be much greater than playing poker for 5 years (while saving money) and then getting a job.
There will of course be exceptions. And I am just talking about the safe path. Taking the road less travelled can be a blast too.
