Every time the market is good, there are people who quit their jobs or drop out of school to go all in on investments.
But this path is not suitable for most people, and it's not as enjoyable as you think.
First, there's the economic pressure:
Once you go full-time into trading stocks or commodities, your income relies solely on the market. Without earnings, anxiety easily creeps in, and the more urgent your emotions, the more mistakes you're likely to make.
Second, there's the imbalance in life:
Not attending school or working leads to a disruption in life rhythm and social circles. When you suddenly have a lot of free time every day, many people fall into the pattern of "gambling during the day and feeling emo at night."
Finally, there's a lack of meaning:
Even if you do make money, it's common to feel confused after a long period of being off track—Who am I? Why am I making money? Not to mention the struggles during a market downturn.
Therefore, very few can walk this path steadily, for a long time, while maintaining calm and coherence.
If you've managed to do that, congratulations, you're on a path that's less crowded but clearer-minded.
