She should do what ever makes her happy, no matter how poor the pay is. I imagine that she is probably very burned out on Pool, but I do not know. Probably just wants to try something new. I wish her the best. And, who knows, she might really start to miss the game, and want to take it back up full time.

Seems smart. Chase that dream. She reminds me of another girl from the past; Kara Wroldson. She was a phenom in the 90s. She went on to college and got some finance job making like $100K a year or so I heard. Sofia has pool to fall back on if it doesn't work out.

That's the point.

If someone can be #1 and still have culinary school as a better financial option, then women's pro pool in this country is in a very sad state. How can it attract potential players if there's no future in it?

Sounds like Sofia Mast is making culinary school her #1 priority, come August. She "hopes" be be able to keep playing pool. She also has an excellent argument as being the #1 American-born woman player.

A couple months ago, I saw a post from her requesting donations/support during her streams. I know she has sponsorships. As well, culinary school graduates are notoriously poorly paid. If the (arguably) best female player born in the US can't make a reasonable living at this game, then there's no real hope for US women to be competitive.
