Here are 3 career paths in the top 10 and the cost and timeline to pursue a career in those fields. With their average salaries.

Traders can make millions, hundreds of millions, and even billions per year. But why is it that someone will EXPECT to spend $300-500k in educational costs and 12+ years to become a doctor, while so many would be traders expect to invest next to no time or money to become a successful trader. If it was that easy, everyone would do it.

My point is, if your plan is to “try trading for a year, and if it doesn’t work, do something else”. You should quit now. Most people take 2-3 years just to realize that they haven’t even begun learning anything.
