Check your highest planned goal for the foreseeable future.

Been playing money poker for 34 years and decided in 2002 to try that TX Holdem game on TV. Then found Pokerstars in Summer 2005. Still not an overall winner but i am on a good trend and nearly there.

My girlfriend's a preschool teacher and cleaning up piss during nap time is definitely the ugly side of preschool underachievers.

And I did it the third time. And I wish I had plans for more education, if I could get paid to be a full-time student I'd apply in a second.

I have plans on tacking on a Mr. Mom degree when my wife finishes residency (she still hasn't figured out that I'm not joking about this tho - and it's a ways off since she still is just in her third year of med school).

If you have multiple doctoral degrees you've clearly squandered valuable time that should have been spent playing poker- therefore you are an embarrassment to yourself and the rest of the community.

I didn't think anyone would want to publicly shame themselves by admitting to having been so misled.

I have a friend who is an IP attorney. He tried to convince me to pursue IP law, but I see how many hours he works and it doesn't look like fun.
