I'm wondering what kind of jobs some of you career traders held down as noobs to pay the bills. Any feedback is good, but if some people with futures experience could chime in it would be great.

You can come to Minneapolis and trade spring wheat. It is about $100 month to lease a seat. Inter-market and calander spreads are popular as well as scalping.
