Another thing, finishing college when you're young is easier than finishing college when you're old. I have a friend who started college at 27. He's working towards getting bachelors. He tells me that it's hard and he regrets not going to college back early in his 20s. Your brain learns the best when you're young. But with poker, you can play anytime. It doesn't matter if you're young or old. It's not a sport where your performance decreases as you get older. I can't imagine myself studying Organic Chemistry and Physical Chemistry all over again in college. I feel that my brain is too old to learn them again and I'm 27. And based on the economy of the US today, it's better to get your education done quickly as possible because at this economical crisis, tuition fees are just gonna keep increasing while grants will keep decreasing, which makes you get more loan. Finish it quickly. You can play poker anytime but you can't finish college anytime. While I got lucky, job market is hard and without a college degree, you won't get a job and if you do, it'll be a hard labor or minimum wage job.
