Job Description

Did not fill in.

Pros

I enjoy this job much more than my Microsoft financial analyst job. I have all the flexibility I want and way more pay. What other job can I make tens of thousands of dollars in a day and take anyday off that I want? The hours are great. I probably work less than 40 hours a week and make more money than I would likely make at the peak of my career as a financial analyst

Cons

You need a variety of skills for this occupation and if you're missing 1 you can't play for a living. You have to be very good with your money as you need a bankroll to play through the bad luck. If you can't handle losing a lot of money you can't handle this job. Additionally it's very stressful. Many people I went to college with look at me differently as well. They have a very condescending attitude because they're close minded and ignorant to the possibilities life has to offer. Gambling in general has a "rebel" and "bad guy" stereotype so you will have to deal with this as well.
