I think everyone should have a long stint in the workforce before they consider full time trading as their sole income.
It's necessary to develop life skills such as awareness, discipline, motivation etc
Being financially secure first would also be a really good idea imo. If you're completely relying on good trades to feed your family and pay the mortgage, the pressure would be intense.

I reckon he probably does wipe his butt with "hundies" .... lol
As for being a mentor - he offers quite a few pearls of wisdom on here - if you're paying attention
He thinks I'm not listening, but he's wrong. My handbag is getting lighter, but I am a bit "stuck in my ways" and it's hard to teach an old dog new tricks.
For the most part though, the combo of STT and DT has been working for me.
Of course I've had a few disasters along the way I'm no expert hot shot trader.

My main point - live a little, set yourself up, work hard, become financially secure THEN consider FT trading.
Nothin' in the rule books to say you can't still make some trades while you're achieving the above.
