Am i lying to myself

[newOcean]

Can building a bankroll and playing poker/ betting on sports help prepare me for a life on wall street. I'm a freshman in college and im starting to really devote myself to poker and sports capping with the drawback being less time for school.

But the bankroll management, realizing my limits, dealing with downswings/hot streaks, and ect ect.. can it really help me if say, I aspire to be a trader (fixed income/ securities area)? Or should i play sparingly, stay the fish/square i currently am but instead concentrate on getting my pretty low gpa up. (first semester i got between a 3.2 and a 3.4 but i heard that pretty low compared to other kids who are serious and in the ivies or ross equivalent)
