Chris, If all you want out of life is to trade, quit school. If you
want to have a life, besides trading, stay in school. Open up and expand
your horizons. Don't narrow your interests to the exclusion of everything
but a single endeavor. It's amazing how you will find life a lot more
interesting and fulfilling when you view learning as a life long
process--and perhaps the most life enhancing of all. Without you knowing
it, college is where the seeds of that learning process get planted. It
should already be sparking your curiosity for more knowledge, while
showing how little you already know. Quit school at your great peril.
Speaking of your trading career, I think you will be a much better trader
the broader the knowledge you have at your disposal to assimilate into
that experience. And trading itself is a never ending learning process.
It is not a static thing. College should help you develop a discipline
for learning that will help you in trading as well as in all other life's
endeavors.
