A friend of mine suggested that a "job" is doing something that provides for the betterment of the world. While I understand where he's coming from, I personally felt like I was doing something better with my life when I started going back to school to continue pursuing education. Playing poker is nice, fun, pays the bills, gives me a nice life, but in the end it is just a selfish life. It's all for me and I never did any good with those winnings (excluding buying a skee-ball machine for my parents) and because of all that, I felt more satisfied when I started helping others with their enjoyment of music.
Basically, I see where everybody is coming from and don't agree or disagree with anybody's opinions.
