Hi,
i'm a 24 year old who lives in singapore, i have a diploma in electronic and computer engineering and have been working for some time in a software engineering department.
in 2008 i plan to go for a full time degree, but i still cant make up my mind to go into Business studies or IT majoring in computer security & network design and administration.

which field is more benefical for a poker player?
I'm considering playing poker full time in the future
i currently make about 1000 usd a month playing poker part-time 3 hours a day.

Please Advise

As an IT professional that has been in the industry for ~6 years, the business degree is a better long term decision and it's not even close.

If the poker thing doesn't work out and you have to get a "normal" job, you will have more options with the business degree. Plus, with some entry level IT experience already under your belt, you will be more prepared and qualified to move into management in the eyes of those in charge.
