QOTD: The Stupidest Job on Earth

This is a business, for better or for worse, of attrition. It wears you down until you have nothing left. Only then, when you are faced with a decision and a path, will you learn if this business is for you. I’ve been faced with this reality numerous times over the past 17 years and have always chose to bear down and make it work. Only through ox-headed perseverance will you succeed at being a trader, money manager, operator of coin, in this god forsaken avenue of employment.

I started on The Street around the same time as The Fly. I spent a lot of my career playing the same games and tilting at the same windmills. I get it.
