I go by the opinion of do whatever the hell you want. I don't care if it's a 15 year old or a 50 year old. It's a free country. If a kid wants to dedicate himself to xyz, so be it.

Dedicating yourself to any sport, even the major ones that pay millions, for 99.999% of people will result in less money than working full time at McDonalds. That's the reality of pro-sports.

But so what? Life isn't just about money. If someone loves poking the balls with a stick, let them.

Yeah I used to get into conversations with a local kid, probably one of the better players in SoCal, named CJ. He would say "Man, you should be out there gambling with how I know you can play". I would say nah, I'm happy with my IT job making X amount of dollars a year guaranteed. His reply at the time was, "I made twice that over the last 6 months".

Fast forward several years and he became a union carpenter.
