Would a career change from Insurance professional to a professional poker player be irresponsible?
I would be going from a respectable 6 figure income to not sure what. Also I am ashamed to admit my savings are rather paltry. I also have dependents. But poker is my passion. What to do, what to do?

- Don't quick your job. Just play local tourneys till you save enough money to enter some large ones.
- Because you have kids you need to make sure you're able to provide for them. If poker really is your passion, maybe you could try doing both insurance and poker part time. That way you'd still have a steady income and you'd be able to see if you really can make sure money with the poker. At the end of the day you've gotta do what makes you happy.
- Can you not do it on the side... If you got dependents like children, Please wait until they are grown before you quit your job to go to the unsure! They depend on you and it would be irresponsible to lose your job and lose all your money at poker!
- It would be irresponsible. When your house is paid off and your dependants are on their own, then pursue poker.
