I spend a fair amount of time here and in the game but my career came after many years acquiring education. How many folks spend a quarter million and 10 years after college for the privledge of having a chance to "practice" anything....
For some reason people think you must be smart if you have credentials and degrees which no matter what you do. This is a great thing to have "the benefit of the doubt" that you are worth investing in.

I looked him straight in the eye and said "Mr Kaminski I am going to college" He retorted well send me a Xmas card if you ever graduate.
The first of now 20 was sent when I graduated from medical school......
Scav's your a late bloomer like myself but hardly a lost cause. Finish school try the system and when you get the CPA conquered send me an email and let me know what island your gonna buy and where!!!

Dr D's a smart guy and I agree with him 100%... option 1 is a no brainer. Take the year, finish your degree, take a shot at playing 'professionally' with the cash you have in hand and if it doesn't work out, you've got an excellent degree to hit the grind with.
