Lots of good responses like this one and the one that simply said Freedom. The above quote is really important in that once you build your foundation and create a profitable trading strategy, you really have the most secure job in the world. If you're employed, you're at the mercy of your employer, economic trends, customers, etc. I used to be an entrepreneur and I can tell you that is risky as heck because of everything that goes into a business. The only way we go down is if the stock market goes down and that probably means the end of society. Work hard: this is a good field.

Watching CNBC everyday and making money is also great.
to engage in the financial markets with a skillset & passion to earn a living every week. money does buy freedom if applied correctly.

If you felt you had what it takes to be a trader or a position within this industry. How would you explain your skills, desire, qualifications, etc. to obtain a certain position.

"I have the commitment to persist through more blood, sweat, and tears to reach my ultimate goals than anyone else who steps foot in this office and I will prove that to you if you hire me. " That's what I would say. You better be able to back up your claim after making such a statement also. First in office, last out of office ect.
