I think you got your answer and I'm with everyone else. Life is funny also, even if you PLAN on going pro if you are not 100% dedicated it wont work. I WANTED to be a BB when I was in my early 20s adn late teens but life kept getting in the way and priorities as well as injuries and most importantly $$$ directed my life elsewhere.
As said, it's not something to be taken lightly. I would rank it up there with getting married or having kids.
