Playing professional poker is an exciting job.
My brother in law has recently taken up a new career as part of a poker player management team. It sounds like a really exciting job as he is responsible for professional poker players and getting them promotion. I would love a job in promotion and to do it for poker players seems like great fun. The idea of finding them opportunities for games and also public appearances and sponsorship sounds really great. He takes it all for granted as it is something that he has done for a long time as so really does not understand how exciting it is for someone who has never heard of this sort of thing before. It is also the type of job which sounds really great when you are describing it to people at parties for example. I would love to have a great job title rather than just being a plain old secretary for a rather dull insurance company! Imagine saying to someone that you worked for a professional poker player management company. Perhaps I should just start pretending that I have career in this area, learn a bit more about it and be able to quite the jargon – that might impress a few people!
