what did your grandfather do?

try his vocation.

i think your wasting your time in these markets.

your young enough to start a career in a proper job with a paid salary.

forget this business.

its full of pretty much idiots , washed up floor traders and wanna be screen traders who last about two years with no salary.

go see the world and come back in a few years.

Haha that may be some of the most sound advice given in this thread yet, but once you're in you're hooked. I have been around the markets for as long as i can remember, and worked in them now for about 5 years. I am aware of the ups and downs and I know although it may not work out, it is better to try and fail then to have never tried and only wondered what could have been.
