Hi guys. In my opinion for avoiding 9to5 job very good way is  playing poker. its so intelectual game and with it you are learning so much about emotions and generally about nature of human and also make good money. But one disadvantage of this career is that you dont help anyone with it. you are just building yourself. And guys i really love this game and what do you think how can i help the world with playing poker? Thank you!

A lot of investors and start up founders like Sam Altman have said that learning poker helped with their business because there are a lot of overlaps in the field. Perhaps theres a way there https://www.forbes.com/sites/simonmoore/2020/02/28/how-poker-makes-you-a-better-investor/ 

Poker is a zero sum game, but there are a lot of valuable skills you can learn that may help in future endeavors. Dont get too carried away with it tho

@Michael569 that's nice tip. but for teaching others you need to first of all know player's path, right?

@Michael569 It will be real innovation in my country to make poker courses or something like this but if for example i make many young player motivated and follow the poker path is it helpful thing for the world from my side?

From my limited understanding, poker involves managing risk, reading people, taking chances, a good head for numbers and percentages, having a sharp memory, and at higher levels a detailed strategy. These things can help the population in life generally, but there are negatives: Addiction, financial problems, crime to pay bills/addictions, and the general social strain these things present in other areas, families, communities, etc. It can also support organized crime if people go too far into these traps, as they have to pay off people with significantly worse consequences.
