Everyone wants to be a player. Someone wants to be a dealer and devote your life to this profession? Stay with professional players at the table and get a gratuity in the form of chip of the largest dignity.
I personally like to be a player, but i know some people who are dealers in casinos. They seem to like their profession. It's a matter of what do you want to do for living.
i think most dealers also want to be poker players however unlike poker being a dealer its a much safer profession economically as you will always have a monthly income. professional poker players can have downswings that last for a long period of time. Maybe in some particular cases people like to be dealers but most of the time they do it just for the money they made every month.

Casino's have classes from time to time that they will pay for… That seems to be the best route to go from what I have found out since they are generally looking to hire if they are conducting a class… Butler community college has a class that you can pay for if they get enough people to take the course, but you have to pay for it. Meadows seems to hire from there.
You have to contact BCC… I think the next one would be in the fall. They were going to have one in the spring, but if they don't have enough people enroll it gets canceled… Keep an eye on casino websites under the job sections.
would be a good to be a dealer for me , but with the plan in the future to become a poker player , it may be a good solution to familiarize yourself with other good poker players and learn from them =P
