I learned basically nothing while in university because I didn't care about it and just did what I needed to do to get the marks. My point is that you should be putting a lot of concentration into school if you are spending that much on tuition. You don't need to, but it's a waste of money if you don't. If you're anything like most poker players, you won't. If you're perfectly balanced and able to do it flawlessly, then congratulations, but most people aren't. Getting a 3.0 isn't necessarily 'doing well' imo.

Also Assume that you put in 2 hours of homework/study time for each credit (no one does this much), that would be 24-30 hours more. So in total the most dedicated students are spending no more than 36-45 hours a week on anything related to school. That leaves SOOOOOOOO much free time to play poker its insane. Lots of kids who get straight A's and/or students who get the most they can from school still have other hobbies, ldo. Such as video games, watching TV, friends, etc. Replace TV/video time with poker and playing no more then 20 hours a week you are playing as much or more than most full time pros.

"go for it" = "the pond could REALLY use some fresh fish, so, please jump right in, the water's fine."

Re: Go Pro? advice from Sbrugby
All depends on your major, teacher, and what school you go to. Obviously community colleges are easier and a lot of times smaller colleges are a little easier as well.
Im studying electrical engineering and im halfway through my junior year. Its tough to juggle classes, poker, and a social life. Engineering just requires so much time in class, in lab, and the out of class work. I like his advice, just do it. You never know whats to become of things if you dont try, just have the backup plan.
