You may have been itching to be a trader all your life. Perhaps you worked your way through college selling sweatshirts, bagels, or other items needed by your classmates. Or you may have been a baseball card collector or a shrewd buyer or seller. Many people just feel that they have the makeup to be one of the greatest traders in the world, just as many believe that they could have been a chess grand master. If trading interests you, take the following nonsocially scientific, fairly subjective test.
Do you desire a career change?
Do you want to be your own boss without the hassle of managing your own office?
Does corporate downsizing scare you?
Are you currently playing job-related Russian roulette?
Are you tired of commuting?
Have you hit a wall that will keep you from your earnings potential?
Does the idea of working from your home appeal to you?
