Quote from goldenarm:

Unfortunately for 95% of the daytraders out there, being free thinking doesn't pay the bills.

Burritobob, daytrading will always be around. Concentrate on graduating with a good GPA and then evaluate your options. You've had mixed results trading the emini. You have to consider if you think you can survive on mixed results, unless you have a lot of money on the side to live off of.

day traders are not particularly free thinkers. if they were they might be more successful.

Quote from burritobob:

I really appreciate the serious replies. Im currently a college senior looking for some guidance. I have been trading live the eminis for a few months with mixed results. Trading is truly my passion but I have an opportunity to start training as a financial advisor for a relatively large firm after graduation. Should I stick to a sure paycheck or do what I love and trade at a prop firm?

After hours maybe Forex is a good idea. I'm not into that yet though. I want to start using a trial demo account today to see what it's like.
