Why trade at all?

If most successful e-mini traders only make about 1.5 points a day on 1 - 5 contracts, why not just earn an MBA and get a job paying $200k/year?
 
Get an MBA and a job making 200k and report back your experience. Let me know if you only work 7 hours a day, are able to take vacations whenever you want, and don't have a boss or any customers. The risks are high but so is the reward.

... Because MBA grads on average dont make 200 K per year ...

... Because you might want a life with your family rather than working like a dog (and often being treated like one) at an IB ....
