One caveat if you take the power. You don't really control it. Sure you can tune in to someone's thoughts, but it doesn't shut off. And you will hear the worst of people's thoughts, as well as the good ones.

You could definitely get super rich with that power, but I don't think I'd want to know what most people are thinking. I could live the rest of my life easily with 5 million.

Power!
Extremely useful and can easily make over $5 million with it anyway.

...Money it is, then.
Anyone who's seen Code Geass and Mao (who has this power) knows why you wouldn't want it.

It's useful. You can know the secret of the world's leaders, bend their will.

Cash.
Its not the drawbacks of the power or fear of abusing it, but the power requires a lot of work and set-up to be of use in normal life. While possible I could play card games competitively, I would worry about the mafia coming to harm or unalive me from assuming Im cheating even if they cant prove it. Magic and other tasting card games would still require monetary input and luck of draw to be profitable. Itd be helpful for interviews, but money would give me a better access to experiences to use as a foundation.

It's really not. You hear everyone's thoughts. It has too many drawbacks. You hear what people really think about you. You also hear half thoughts, jumbled insecurities, and other stuff you'd probably really not want.

Money.

Being able to control it is something else, but as a recovering schizophrenic not being able to turn off mind reading sounds an awful lot like schizophrenia to me.

Irregardless, for all intensive purposes, I could care less.
