Pman as someone who is a longtime lurker of this thread you finally got me to log in to my long dormant account to respond to you. If you are serious about going for a career instead of trying the poker dream, I say go for it! You said you used to be a software engineer. Or at least you worked as one somewhere. Well whatever the case is, I do remember watching that in one of your videos, and then wanting to know more about your experience and thoughts on your time working in tech.
I doubt you are very good at software engineering or else I think you would have stuck with it longer. Because as I'm sure you know you can make a hell of a lot more as a software engineer than you'd ever make at poker. (And with the amount you will make there will be plenty of fun money to try and test your poker skills with.) I think G-d would like you to contribute your talents in you building something cool that can help society. Instead of just saying F--- yeaa jeebus, lets get drunk and play some blackjack... ok well now time to play poker and maybe win something. (BTW - Did you ever see the movie 'Holy Roller-The True Story'?) I don't know I guess our view of G-d is different.
Personally I only sort of quasi-believe in some higher-power. But despite all that, Book of Mormon is one of my favorite musicals. Anyways, there are a lot of opportunities in Software and Cybersecurity now as well. Maybe cybersecurity would be a good job if software engineering not for you. There is also a whole thread in NVG about jobs for poker players, you can have a look there too. There's a lot of ex pro poker players who like me now have successful careers. Some probably browse these threads as well and can give you help in starting out in those and many other great career fields. In your cryptic tweet it said you had to audition for your drop, which got me thinking you might be doing a dealer audition.
Whatever you do, please don't go and become a dealer. Use this time to build yourself a career. You will thank past you one day in the future that you didn't waste time chasing the poker dream when you could have been building something greater. Don't make excuses Pman. More people would watch vlogs about you building something big, overcoming your insomnia, achieving something truly AWE-some (and I do mean that word biblically. And then we would watch the vlogs that you go out and try to win a WSOP tournament. Now you're raising money for jeebus! That reminds me of a poker book: Ace on the River by Barry Greinstein ... d*** that is a really good book. You should read it!
I know you aspire to be something great judging from the corny and tacky billionaire mindset retweets you post on your twitter. Godspeed Pman. Have fun in the desert now, just don't get too lost there.

When it comes to drinking and being stupid, I'm trying to do less of that. Thank you for the kind words. God is good
