Only people in WSO think you "choose" your strategy. In the real world, it tends to be you get a job where you can, hopefuly you learn a sensible strategy from somone competent, and as you mature, you shape it a bit with your own thoughts and experience.

No one decides at 21 out of college they want to do convertible arb for a living. People mostly get there through a process where a lot of randomness is involved.
