College poll among HSNL'ers

[fsuplayer]

i was referring to the fact that most doctors dont make [censored] anymore, at least compared with the amount of work and # of years in school.

...and thats not even comparing it to poker monies.

last year i made more money playing poker than i probably will any year being a doctor.


edit: ....beat.

Triple majored at Michigan; graduated summa cum laude in 5 years. Did my master's at the New England Conservatory. I've considered going back again for a artist's diploma or something like that but I probably won't ever do it.

senior at duke. biomedical and electrical engineering double major. my gpa isnt great, but its acceptable. im also applying for some ibanking/trading jobs just for fun, mostly to see if anyound would actually hire me. i actually have no problem working for 10% of what id make playing poker if i was happy doing it because money is just not that important to me. id rather have healthy social circles and a good work environment....

(but i probably wont find that in most jobs out of college)

I'm an idiot. I went to four years of school at UMASS Amherst. During that period, i changed my major three times: started off as comp sci, moved on to forestry(which i actually liked but realized id be able to do nothing with it), and then finally settled on sociology. Im only about 20 credits away from finishing my degree and graduating, but ive basically given up on life and school. I couldnt even tell you what my GPA was because i never checked my grades for the last semester i finished. Im assuming i did ok, except for that one class which i chose to not go to anymore after i failed the first test.

Not really.
Life's about a helluvalot more than just how much money you made on any given year, and being a doctor is far more meaningful than multi-tabling f'ing PartyPoker. It's not even close if you think about it for more than a fraction of a second. But you probably have, which is why you're still in school.
