Is Going Pro Worth The Money?

I don’t think money is the driving factor to turn pro, money helps the lifestyle but the lifestyle is what drives ppl to turn pro.

I could see a money making opportunity by being a top coach... With the "Pro Card" you can command top dollar training people.
But as a lively hood and not in the top tier of Bb'ers... I isnt worth it , your spending more on Growth than you are winning Like Roman Fritz...

These guys probably spend 200k or more a year on drugs and nutrition. The only chance is if you do win Mr Olympia or place high you can build a brand that makes you a lot more money. But can you honestly think of more then 10 guys at the olympia stage with a successful brand? These guys notoriously are broke and do GFP to support there habit. Some sell steroids etc. It's almost no different then a junkie at that point. Some are true competitors, some are drug addicts, addicted to size, not being big enough and in need of attention.
