I don't think I will make much progress in my current job. Basically I am like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered aka laid off in not too distant future. I am almost 50. Finding another job with good career prospect is not going to be easy mainly because I did not make any progress career wise in the past 10 years, so my options will limited, and based on my experience trying to look for a job 10 years ago, not going to be pleasant.
One of the options I am seriously giving thoughts to is Trading for Living. But there also I have serious misgivings. First, my track record over the past 15+ years has been very dismal, although things have improved slightly im the past year. Second, I am worried about losing benefits like health insurance esp. given I have a 12 year old son. Third, I am not sure if this allows me to leverage my education and experience; you really don't need a college degree, let alone an MBA, to day trade. Fourth, and most important, how does it make part a bigger thing or a cause. Ideally, I would like participate in building a cathedral.
Thinking about being a part of a bigger cause, I think, that what I am looking for. Aside from other thongs, this is what is missing from my current job. So the question is what kind of a cathedral do I want to build?
