Life After Trading

[riskbiscuit]

Quote from Kensho:

I wonder where the 90% of traders that eventually quit end up? Where would you end up? Keep in mind daytrading experience on your resume will instantly lead to the resume being trashed.
I ask because I'm thinking of joining the 90%. I haven't blown up but I'm burned out. And I'm 33 yo so I figure I only have a small window of opportunity to quit because age discrimination is very pervasive.

Hi Kensho,

Was day trading your only source of income? And what other type of employment information/careers do you have besides day trading?
