How confident am I that my money will made with this? I don't know. Enough to find a 2nd shift retail job and spend the next matter of years toiling away with a "chance" of becoming consistently profitable? I'm trying to figure that out. the fear is becoming stuck in a crap job, not getting anywhere with my trading and eventually snuff it.
ive been at it for four years this april. no girl, no kids, few bills, and an opportunity to take it in a stronger direction. thanks for the input
seriously? there are few fields that will work after hours. Here is one idea: spend a year getting an LPN degree. But you have to study. There are both accredited schools (colleges) and vocational schools that offer this. BEFORE enrolling at any though, verify the % of their graduates who pass the govt-required NCLEX qualifying exam. Pass the NCLEX, and you can work weekends, and maybe pull $15-28 an hour. And you might actually get a job, as opposed to many other fields. It isn't a pretty job, but pays a lot more than other second/third shift stuff Your reality is, that few traders actually succeed. At least you would have a reasonably employable, reasonably paying fallback.
I will not be going into nursing. I have a technical background and a degree in finance this year. Perhaps a variation of tech support, if not finance, which does pay 15/evenings/weekends. I do appreciate your suggestion, I see a lot of 2nd/3rd shift nursing jobs too. tw
you might also consider your own home business then... You could attempt to build a business tutoring math/science/tech stuff, teach evening classes, upgrade/repair the PCs of others (put up signs on craigslist/supermarket bulletin boards, inform everyone you know), etc. Of course the economy is hard, but just what some others do...
I suggest burger flipping , pizza making and cab driving, so when you blow out, you have a skill you can really use.
i know what a job is and what you get in return; what im looking for is a job known to successful traders who have made it from the bottom up, something that has been proven as synergistic to trading practice.
