I know Melissa Herndon has always had a full-time job. She plays incredible. Imagine how great she would be if she could practice non-stop like some others get to.

Thanks Sarah :o

Actually, I tried to stop working to focus on pool for a few months. Truth be told, it turned out horribly for me.

I started staying up later and later...
which caused me to sleep later and later...
which started to make me feel like a very non-productive member of society (not to mention throwing off my body/brain clock)...
and so I started to feel bad about myself...
which made me play worse and worse...
which made me feel worse and worse...
which made me start thinking about quitting pool forever.

Now...that isn't going to happen to everyone. Some people are very comfortable and happy just making a living from pool. But I was used to working everyday from the time I was 16...and I come from a working class family. That is what we do...it is who we are. And I felt absolutely lost without that stability.

Would I love to be able to focus solely on pool? Sure. It would probably be fantastic and fun and I would probably play much better...LOL. But unless I win the lottery...or marry a gazillionaire...so that I have NO financial worries...then it just won't happen. I will always work...and I play OK with a job...and I am good with that :)
