100% agree. College, as in actual college and not the stuff that comes with it, is not fun. You can get the other stuff easily without going to college.

I find poker fun and I suspect anyone that would be able to do it as a living and be very successful would too.

So to say college is fun and poker is not is pretty backwards imo.

Trust me. College will be one of the best and EASIEST times of your life. You don't need much money to have fun and the snatch is plentiful!

If you think College is hard... then you are a loser.

Poker is a bore when you are grinding for a living... there are much cooler and more exciting professions to strive for... how about owning/starting a Poker mag? Best of both worlds!

Poker and life in general sucks when you are on a losing streak. Why deal with any "losing streaks" if you don't have to... life is too short!

If you work hard and make the right decisions in life you will almost ALWAYS succeed! Poker can kick your arse big time... even when you hold the Aces!

Not sure what this means... if it means "the truth" then I agree.

Pretty sure that most of the successful poker players that are foregoing college are having a pretty good time too.

look at how profitable poker was say 2yrs ago and look at the state of the games today. poker will not always be as profitable as it was, or even is today.

[/ QUOTE ]

yes it will, poker will ALWAYS be profitable, it just won't be that way for as many people.

Yeah aba or cts should def. go to school for 4 years to get a job that might pay $50k/year.

[/ QUOTE ]

Not many people make much more then that at their first job out of college. If you do then you are one of the lucky ones.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah, Obv. bumped a bit because you get raises or whatever, but a lot of 1/2nl players are making as much as someone a few years out of college.

[/ QUOTE ]What do you think the top %10 of online players' average hourly was then?

Now?

I think the games evolve and as they do you get better too, so I'm not sure if it was really more profitable then for the average winning player than it is now.

It's just a lot harder to back to school when your 35 and busto... Better off to graduate, then take chances in life.
