Quote from Satan's Helper:
I am going to give you some Really Good Advice as the alcohol and drugs keep me happy.
Get a real degree in a field that you will enjoy working in and screw trading for your education. Trading jobs donât care about your degree (as long as you have one and a good GPA) and if it does not work out then you have a back-up plan.
As a future trader, run these numbers and stats. Should you A: risk your future on a less than 5% (more like less than 1%) chance of success or B: have a back-up plan just in case you find out that you are not in that 5% or less crowd.
Here is a quick story for you. When I started out as a prop trader I would watch all of these kids just like you come in from Ivy League schools that had a degree in math or some related field. Within a couple of weeks of trading I would watch them cry like babies because they either turned down a job at Goldman or some promising future for trading. But before that happened they all know how great of a trader they were going to be and how easy the series 7 was to pass because they were so smart.
Who are we kidding? Dude, Screw College and take your tuition money so you can open a leveraged account and stop wasting time. You can literally be a millionaire before you would graduate if you start right now!
Well Satan err excuse me...........Satan's helper
Things are not so simple.
If he gives himself a backdrop, a plan B.
Is he then going to commit 10 000 hours into mastering trading ??
I doubt it, he will simply try for 6 months, lose 30 k, and quit.
Forever losing his chance of being his own boss and making it into top 2% of earners. Having a shitty job all his life.
Bottom line OP, you have now heard all sides. Time to choose.
FREEDOM, through pain and tears.
OR COMFORT through tried and tested path majority take.
Tough choice, take your time, take your time.
