Trading vs. Entrepreneurship
Two things about me: I'm interested in finance, but I'm also into computer science and programming. While I'm in college, I'm looking to get into making some money on the side. Word on the street is not only that we're in a startup bubble, but also that the odds of a startup succeeding are astronomically small. However, so is the chance of being a profitable trader.
What I'm trying to ask is, would I have a statistically better chance of 1. Being a successful trader of stocks, bonds, options, etc., or developing software and making a business out of it?
Statistically- do what your passionate about, buddy. You won't succeed if your not 110% dedicated. What will get you up every morning?
That's the thing, at this point in time I'm equally interested in both. As in I see myself being a trader as much as I see myself making a tech company (obviously not the next facebook but you know what I mean).
Why not do both? A friend of mine used his programming skills and quant background to create a trading algorithm, which he later spun off into a algo trading firm which he sold right before going to a top bschool. He's now heavily involved in the tech startup scene, so it can definitely be done.
