Put me in the "unsuited for other jobs" category. I don't work for other people at all well and wouldn't be effective as a boss either as I wouldn't trust others enough to delegate.
Plus with poker you can work only as much as you need to make an acceptable living. Most other jobs it's either 45+ hours whether you need the money or not, or part time but meagre hourly.
Also, remove me from the "young person" category.
