Goal : $$$

<p>major: finance / pre-med
if (fail MCAT)
{take LSAT}</p>

<p>if( fail LSAT)
{find job with finance (maybe trade prop)}</p>

<p>if (no job with finance)
{get education degree}</p>

<p>Medicine: some interest ,boring memorization, independence</p>

<p>Law: like reasoning and legality,bad at grammar, some independence if you hit the jackpot on a couple of cases</p>

<p>finance: <3 just not a job in demand with sufficient $$$ from my school, no independence</p>

<p>save $50k go all-in e-mini s&p a couple times = $$, thing is you should trade with money you can lose, doctor can lose $50k no problem specially if i come out of school with no debt, a guy making $50k a YEAR working full time cant do that, a doctor can take a week vacation and trade with big bucks with no worries</p>

<p>uh so what exactly is your question?</p>

<p>if{fail english}
{talk in code}</p>

<p>talking in code is so much better than writing , straight and to the point</p>

<p>Speaking of which, what is the point of your original post?</p>

<p>Why don't you just major in premed and study so that you actually pass the MCAT? 3 Backup plans is a bit excessive.</p>

<p>You will have a miserable life.</p>

<p>if (talk in code)
{work at taco bell}</p>

<p>else
{instituionalize self}</p>

<p>i talked to my psychotherapist who told me i would hate myself if i did medicine lol and how business is the only thing for me</p>

<p>Good luck with the all in emini strategy. I guess simple money management doesn't apply to geniuses such as yourself. haha.</p>

<p>its not all-in , its just higher stakes.</p>

<p>all-in would be mortgaging the house and putting all of that in one trade</p>

<p>I highly doubt you will A)build a platform for finding profitable edges B) have the stamina to do the intensive research needed to be profitable trading while being a doctor. But hey good luck.</p>

<p>A)build a platform for finding profitable edges</p>

<p>i already know some high probability trade setups</p>

<p>B) have the stamina to do the intensive research needed to be profitable trading while being a doctor</p>

<p>I think a lot of people end up changing their minds, life is confusing.</p>

<p>You didn't get what I said. Its one thing to have one "profitable" trade setup (being profitable doesn't say anything about edges. You can be profitable without an edge (luck favors you). You have to be profitable if you have an edge and manage your bets well.) Its a completely different thing to build a platform with which to constantly find edges. No edge lasts forever, and neither will yours.</p>

<p>BTW neither does "high probability" mean anything. I am guessing you have yet to actually do a rigorous study of the markets/gamble/bet. Here is a very, very basic problem: Would you consider playing a game where 80% of the time you made 10 dollars but 20% of the time you lost 40 dollars? In the long run, what will be the p/l of such a game? If you answered this properly, then you would know that high probability means nothing. </p>

<p>And I doubt it. If you did have that stamina you wouldn't be considering failing MCATs. Anyone who isn't able to have the discipline to study for MCATs and LSATs will not have the discipline or stamina needed to manage two extremely high stress careers. Successful trading requires a competitive drive which should make you not even THINK about three alternate career paths.</p>

<p>mahras speaks truth. why not choose to excel at 1 rather than picking 3 careers that are all difficult to get into and claim they're legit back-ups like</p>

<p>omg i failed MCATs so I'm gonna become biglaw partner or</p>

<p>omg i failed LSATs let me become a prop trader and make millions !!</p>

<p>it really isn't that easy.</p>
