    I enjoy it. It keeps me very busy and is non stop.

    High school qualification will do. You need to be able to work under pressure, think quickly, be good with people. It's not rocket science.

    Interesting, so everyone here has a profession outside of investments.

    Once worked as a Food Technologist in QA, R&D, Project Management. Began investing as an at-home mother of 3 in 1996. These days I'm doing all sorts of bits and pieces in a small branch of a commercial flooring business.

    I tried for a while to stay home and trade/invest "full-time" while the kids were at school, but found there was too much expectation from children/husband/mother/school that I was available to do anything and everything that nobody else wanted to do... so I have taken refuge in part time work and squeeze investing in around the edges. I would possibly make more money if I spent more time at home investing, but seem to remember it as pretty lonely and lacking in fulfilment. Then again, maybe that was because it was 2007-2008 when investing wasn't much fun anyway! Though I did manage to learn the violin to grade 3, tried jazz dance and even went to the gym regularly, so it wasn't all dull.
