Default What should I do with my job?

I work my job which pays a lot more than a living as a poker pro. I can make $50-100K through multi-tabling, weekends in weak casino limit games, and the stars weekly million. Unfortunately, I have a job that pays $150K, plus medical insurance, and a 15% matching contribution to the retirement plan. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Quit your job. Work for AccountTemps or similar. Take on <6 month long projects and play poker the other 6 months. If poker soars, you're good. If poker crashes, you're good.

You're an accountant, but try to think outside the box. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Good luck.

This seems more like a brag then a request for help. What you basically said was "oh guys my life is so awesome, I could make a great living playing poker, but then again I'm making insane amounts of money at my job. Please someone rescue me from all this money."
