    So here's the jist of it, for all you americans out there, reading this post, you must know that college in the states is far more expensive than in Canada. A years worth of schooling at a non-private U is more or less 6K in Canada. That said, I am off to college and leaving home as of August. My parents are helping out by paying my appartment but insist on I getting a job in order to pay for school.

    I have never taken poker seriously, as a matter of fact, I still don't play much. Although, about a week or so back I sat down with a buddy and we decided to split a tourney on cake @ $150 buy-in. We placed 5th for a little over 6K, I collected 3 of the 6. Anyhow, I'm halfway to paying my first year of college and intend on playing a few tournies here and there to make the most of my studies without having to work.

    Just thought I should share that !

    LOL Canada is actually pretty fucking awesome. I'm pretty sure that you have never even been to Canada and I'm also pretty sure that you aren't a girl. Your 50K per year degree might get you far in life but that ummm depends on a lot of factors.

    Get OSAP, use it for tuition ONLY, then get a part time job (try to get one at school) to pay for beer.

    what university are you going to in the fall?
