In 2005 I walked out of my grey, windowless, soulless dead end programming job and went back to school full time to become a high school math teacher...

I received a Master's degree in secondary math education and then went on to teach HS math for 3 years.

I was only playing poker part time during this time period and not taking it too seriously.

It worked out well as I believe the combination of my teaching experience with my online poker skills has turned me into a very successful NLH Coach.

So if I quit my engineering job and start teaching school, I will be balla poka player too?

I do like teaching too. Esp. math. I made lots of money in college tutoring.
