Why not Abid? We have many examples such as V. Anand et. al who have shown the world that an illustrious career can be made out of playing chess professionally! All it needs is the right guidance right from childhood and perseverence.

You are right,Kalyani! Even state level players holding IM status are finding gainful employment in various governmental organizations ans sponsors!

This thread has attracted quite a good number of hits and I wonder it it could be at all called useless!!
