    Hey all, I'm just curious for those of you who aren't professional poker players, what's your real life job? For any students, what are you planning to do for a job?

    I'm an actuary, so basically I figure out when someone is going to die and how we can suck them dry until they do. I like the job because it's a nice warm and fuzzy job that really makes me feel like I'm doing something good.

    Actually, I like it because all it is, is EV all day long, but with people's insurance premiums and life expectancy, and I bore myself just talking about it.

    you should post this in poker discussion......i think, since OTers are all students, have jobs, or are alcoholics. and you will get more traffic in the thread
