  6. Yes! the definitive answer. For more than 97% of future traders and 90% of equities traders, the answer lies within this thread.

    Its Trading!

    Didn't someone say the definition of insanity is "doing the same thing over and over again hoping for a different outcome."

    Einstein is credited with the statement but may I be so bold as to say he was incorrect. It is actually the dafination of stupidity as in liberal.
    My vote is for the fine profession of psychiatry.

    The only correct answer is a public sector union member - you can fuck up all you want and it's nearly impossible top get fired. Nearly impossible!

    That is the perfect job for an idiot, and looking across the news spectrum, it appears that is exactly who fills these jobs.

    Thought it was politicians :)

    Self serving, thieving, lying idiots

    For instance the EU accounts haven't been signed off by the auditors for the last 15 years they are so corrupt

    About half the members of Parliament have been caught red-handed stealing on their expense accounts in UK

    I expect the politicians in your countries are much the same sorta scumbags

  10. I think we all need to watch the Movie Easy Rider to figure out what to do.


    But imho do not put your total self worth into your career. Give it 100% effort and try your best, but as a human being happy requires balance in life so experience as much as you can and when your work is over, do something else with your time. Ask any man on his deathbed and he will never tell anyone he wished he put in more hours in the office etc.


    Personally if I wasn't bright or educated at the age of 18 or so I would have taken a union job in Chicago with the sanitation office. aka garbage man making good money with no real worries and its not a crowded career like fireman etc. It isn't a career will parents push their kids on, or its not sexy, but it will be good solid income month after month.

    I would assume several years you are going to be making $70-80k a year and there will need garbage men in society.
