That way you have the creative outlet of computer science coupled with the outlines of business with business management.
I would be happy to earn a passive income from share trading but the problem is that I don't see how anyone could get passionate about 'the work'. The money yes.
Where as choosing a good education and starting your own business means you can put all your effort and passion into it because it's like your baby. You want to see it grow into what you dream of it becoming which would be much more fulfiling than share trading. |
I'm the exact opposite, nothing bores me more than writing, and trying to grow an online buisness, believe me I tried. Finances in general interest me, I'm studying forex right now, and I love checking up on new companies, trying to figure out if they are a good buy. A ton of people are passionate about stocks, and different markets in general, thats why these people succeed at it. Some people actually look at stocks, forex, options, etc as nothing more than betting, and they figure you are destined to lose money. What they fail to understand is that in order to profit you have to educate yourself, and when I say educate I mean years of studying. Just like any other profession, you have to learn it first. You wouldn't be a very good engineer without years of training, same goes for the markets. The markets can make you a very good living in your spare time.
