Default Should I apply to work for Kershner Trading Group???

Cliff's Notes at bottom:

Along with all the rakeback and porn advertisements on 2p2, one time I saw an ad for some company called Kershner Trading, which had, when the link was up:

[ QUOTE ]
“Good poker players have many of the essential skills that contribute to trading well; taking, identifying and managing risk, “folding” losers and maximizing winning hands.”

We are convinced that statement is true and are actively recruiting successful poker players to join our firm and trade equities.

I just graduated last month and have been playing 2-5 NL on the weekends for a few months, and playing 1-2 and home games and small stakes online for years. I am doing fine, but HAVING to play for monies now that I am out of school sucks the life out of poker and I am losing emotional stability and don't think I can continue as a winnar if I keep it up. (I hate playing online, and it makes my wrist hurt, although the porn might be a part of that as well.) Does that mean trading stocks in front of a computer might also burn me out??

Should I look for something that's totally unrelated to gamboooling?? My roll/savings is at $15K and I have 1K-1500 in expenses every month so I'm ok for a while, while I figure it out.

Also, if I even apply, will they take me??? I have a degree in film, but have been studying advantage play and gambling for six years, winning at poker for three years, and studying stocks for like a year. And the only thing close to a job I've had was as a teaching assistant, for half a semester. So I basically have no qualifications other than interest, self-taught stuff, and two consecutive years making 14% or more (14.8% last year) in two in a half months on CNBC's Portfolio Challenge.

So yeah, I have no experience, a useless degree, and I love all things related to gambling/investing. Is that enough??? Even if it is, should I work there??? Would I like it??

Or should I just refresh on counting cards and shuffle tracking, so I have another game to play when I start to feel myself slipping at the poker table??

Cliff's Notes: Thinking of applying to work for these guys. Good idea or bad idea?? Even if it's a good idea, do you think they'd hire me??
