It is interesting how so many have written that a degree is worth nothing.
I know several successful traders who have degrees,accumulated capital in a field other than Trading and now using a relatively small (15-20%) of their savings to trade for living and use the remaining capital for safer and less time consuming investment strategies.
The degree gave them a relatively safe and sure way to accumulate trading capital. Many new traders suffer from not having sufficient capital to make the typical trading mistakes and survive.
Getting a degree also helps getting trained in Goal Setting, patience, concentration, discipline and perseverence- all the qualities needed to be a successful trader.
It is not the subject matter but the process that helps IMHO.
