You've obviously proven the ability to do BS job AND implement gambling system.

See "handicapping full time" thread.

Can I get some WWSD swag?

Maybe one of those annoying rubber bracelets, white with Racing Form or TG print all over it and a big WWSD over top of that in red.

I just hate what I do, it is garbage, cubicle type stuff. Boss is alright just has zero personality and quite honestly this 6 day win streak of serious cash has done me no favors in the motivational department. Been here for 6 months now I think....

I have an interview tonight with a job that I want, if I get it I am obviously going to take it, but if I don't, probably just gonna try my system and let it play out and finish school, just thought the thread would be fun....

out of curiosity how much have you taken in? the only great thing about having a steady job is the health insurance.

Option 1 is a no brainer here....

Education is like money in the bank it gives back to you over time and any successful gambler new system or not should profit from accounting knowledge.

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.

If I sound like a Dad it's because I am......

At 18 I walked into my guidance counselor's office in high school to hear so Mr Mag "what nice trade school are you going to".....which is what they say to you when your a 3 sport varsity athlete with 1200 SAT's and a 2.05 GPA.

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!!!

If you don't get the job you want with good bennies, quit and finish school. Other than that, keep doing what your doing! Not many can say they made 35K playing the ponies for a week!

WWSD would be an awesome marketing ploy if I ever had to market myself

You should do a few random acts of kindness and create some Karma to run your system through the summer and see how it goes.

Scav - i would go for the accounting degree - take some of the 35k and set it aside for living expenses , play with the rest, you can then take the cpa test and be in a good position by the time you are 30-31, from there with dedication you can write your own ticket

The world always needs accountants , that will never change, good luck to you.

I would take some $$$ and put it to work in the mkt, get yourself a roth ira, great for young people , the gov't has created an incentive to fund these things , earnings are tax free if you leave the $$$ in there for a certain # of years, and the withdrawls would be tax -free when you are in retirement age---if you can do well at the track the mkt s/b a piece of cake for you
