I disagree with the majority of this post.

First of lemme start by saying I think college is overrated, particularly if you don't know what you want to do. Coming out of college with a Liberal Arts education does little if anything for your job search, other than you 'have a degree', which for some reason looks good to some employeers (despite the fact that the job has nothing to do with anything taught in a classroom required to get that degree)

On the other hand, as far as out of classroom experiences during college, you learn a shitload, you develop as a person, and you become who you are. I know that if I went somewhere besides Ohio State for example, I wouldnt be the same person I am today. I would have had different friends (maybe a different type of crowd also), met different people, had different experiences, developed differently and thus I would have been a different person than I am today. I wouldn't trade my college experience (particularly my 2nd year ) for the world

Also it's always nice to have a plan B to fall back on.... even if you decide to give the pro poker play thing a try for a while, what if it works for 6 years and then all of a sudden something fails... you just gunna head right back to school? No way.

You're still a kid, have fun and stay young as long as you can... when you're done with school, you can see where life takes you

(- Sorry, this is getting off topic)
