Re: Dealing as a part-time job in retirement?
why don't you just learn how to beat the game for a marginal profit playing NIT style and supplement yourself that way?

Re: Dealing as a part-time job in retirement?
I work with several dealers who are 65+. I don't reccomend dealing for a retirement job. Also it is very difficult to find a part-time dealing job. The only part-time dealing jobs are tournament gigs which new dealers will be lucky to crack $50 in tokes. Good full time dealers can crack $300 a day in tokes.

Re: Dealing as a part-time job in retirement?
In AC it's just the opposite, all dealers start out part time. It's also not uncommon to see a few older dealers.
I'm not retirement age but I moonlight as a PT dealer for now. The money is decent but typically a lot less than what some people say it is. I don't think it's a bad PT job all-in-all, especially if you don't have to depend on the income, it's not always steady. I'll also point out that dealing is unlike playing in almost every sense. I don't find dealing particularly enjoyable (most dealers don't), but I still love playing. It's not the same at all. If you're just looking to do it PT for supplemental income, it's fine if you have fairly thick skin. It's not how I'd want to spend any of my retirement... I mean you certainly won't get treated with the type of respect you're probably accustomed to teaching at college. |
