PhD in usability of websites and search engines, this is a ripper but mosters like google are overrated. Where are the alternatives in the search engine market? Maybe a course in economics and then a study of monopolism (real word?).

Fly fishing. There is always a river somewhere and a bad days fishing is better than a good day at the office.

Like everything in life balance is the key. Id say if you enjoy your job and career then focus on that especially if your young as it gives you a career to fall back on if you dont succeed in trading later. Success in trading does not come easy as you'll hear a lot about the 90% of traders who dont succeed. Its also a very isolated responsibilty so if you get a buzz working for people then maybe you'll lose motivation here. I was in a stable bank career on 85K up till the beginning last year when I went live but only after training myself up since the market started booming from 2004. It is without a doubt the greatest 'job' that I can have personally speaking but it takes a long time to build enough confidence in a system to trade with.
