Hey guys Was wondering what everyone does for a living? Im new to the trading world, but I have a bit of education behind me that helps. Have a hell of a lot to learn, but enjoying researchng and making the few trades that I can afford. Im writing level 1 CFA in June and I am busy with my CA articles at a big 4 auditing firm. Hoping to follow a career path away from auditing.

Agricultural engineer, Westville. Semi-retired, I still go to Sweden every year during their summer and work there as an ambulance driver! Something totally different and interesting.
