Richard...You're right that my passion for the game is super strong, and has been since I was introduced to the game at age 18, by Jack White. Little did I know that 23 years later I would take over his national touring gig being a pool entertainer. That said, I did a lot of things between 18 and 40 that prepared me to do what I do now. Getting a college education was one of those things. I do love teaching, but it's the college gigs and corporate gigs that really drive the piggy bank...and I've been doing this for more than 20 years! Your desire and drive to play pro speed in a short amount of time are admirable, even if something of a pipe dream. Certainly follow your dream...but back it up with an educaton and a job that will provide a current life and a future life for yourself. :thumbup:
