I don't have any other job, but would take something if I could find something fun. Bartending sounds good, but I don't know if I could stand around beer all night without drinking it .
Play guitar..but not professionally. Was in a band last year..but just played together drinking beer and feelin' high.

Some traders have second jobs for a variety of reasons.
They want to do something more physical.
They want to see real live people. Like me.
They need something to do when the markets are closed.
Tax purposes or to get insurance. Like me.
I can't find a fun job to volunteer for, so what the hey, I will
make money while I am having fun looking at everyone's nice yacht while I am measuring them for blinds.
And since I have a small business, I can get health and disability insurance. Works for us.

That's cool, bobcathy.
I'm not trying to criticize anyone, but it just seems to me from reading various posts that a lot of people try to jump into trading full time right off the bat, thinking that within six months or a year they're going to be earning a living off of a $10,000 account.
I just think it's more realistic for the average newcomer to take it a little slower and consider trading to be their side job at the beginning, rather than the other way around.

I'm taking a job(most likely) in a month as a housekeeper for a wealthy couple. No bills, apartment in a mini-mansion in a ski town, they will even pay my auto insurance and buy my food. I get paid on top of that and all I have to do is work mybe 20 hours a week. They know trading and skiing are my priorities and promised my job won't interfere. I think I will keep this job even if I get rich off trading. I am very luck!
