Ever since I've come home for good from university, I've had a lot of free time on my hands. I have constantly used this free time to study for and work on my trading skills, especially intra-day trading.
However my parents are really struggling to see where I'm coming from, they just see a lonely guy spending the majority of his days dressed in tracksuit bottoms staring at his computer screen. They think I am not doing anything productive, and should get a real job in the city or at least in a local pub/restaurant or something.
We argue frequently, with me explaining how if I worked in the day it would lead me to miss great trading opportunities. My goal is to join an investment bank/trading firm in the city. But I am not stupid, I know competition is fierce, degrees are worthless and the only way to land a job is to present them with a solid trading record, which will happen earlier if I can devote my time to it.
I will probably get an evening job to generate some cash flow, however the evening can present some astounding trading opportunities, but I guess I am not in a position to be picky as I could really do with a steady income.
I know it's not their fault. Times are very different these days, with global access to retail brokers earning a living from the markets has never been so accessible. It's just very difficult to explain how I am being productive on my computer, and that I am actually doing something.

Parents just won't get it
