what im trying to do atm, play for my breakfast, clothes and electric bill for now. ♦
Well they all are good options, but atm I have to stick with the *play poker for strategic experience*. Can't be *side-job* because I'm too lazy to get a job ♦..in the future though it would be nice to earn little extra money after dayjob 
1) Side income
2) Strategic experience
I would never want to become a pro though. Right now, my distant dream is for me to reach 20k by somewhere early 2009 so I finance a year of university in the US by poker for the most part as it's probably my only option to accumulate that amount of money while still studying in Belgium
My main motivation is to some day (hopefully soon) play for a living. I'm currently learning and getting better all the time, and right now I make ~100$ /day playing ~2.5-3.5h /day on NL50, PLO50 and 25. I should move up soon (already have the BR, just waiting for the new PA to come out), and I'm aiming for $5k /mth (we'll see if that's realistic ♦). Anywho I've got about 1.5 years until I finish my studies, so that gives me more than enough time to steadily move up and improve my game.
But all in all I'd love to play for a living, mostly because I don't want to study for another 4 years or so, and also cause there's not many jobs that interest me much, and if I'm not motivated, I don't work/concentrate well ^^,
Also playing or taking a break whenever I want and having a very flexible schedule is a nice prospect
edit: forgot to add I also love the "strategic" challenge
sorry for boring you with the long post ^^
Wow, can't I chose 3? Pretty please? ^_^.
So, I would like to play for a living, for the strategic experience and because I love to play poker, oh, and I guess it's 4, I would like to be able to play in big tournaments and get good finishes :).
I think if you don't at least enjoy to play that everything else becomes irrelevant. So that's my number 1 reason. But the money's not that bad either, of course 
side job, strategic experience, i dont think i can be a pro probably a lot of effort and renouncements. but anway poker is most of all playing and having fun:)
For now my only realistic goal is a side job.Im a student and my scolarship isnt enough to cover all my needs...And of course, my dream is to be playing it for a living,but having enough time to do things too 
I think in my case is playing poker for living quite realistic idea. Thats because i am living in a very cheap country. If i will make at least 1000$ stable per month, i can play poker for living.
