I had the same feeling as Chase when I was working on my MBA at USC. I was fascinated with finance and investing, and taking a lot of interesting classes, but I knew after the Bear Sterns collapse and even more so after Lehman that I had a minuscule chance of getting a job anywhere in the industry. I thought a lot about starting my own business, and even did in 2014 though it failed in bankruptcy, and I still hope to make money trading one day. I even started a finance blog in 2009 and I’m still writing it today. Meanwhile I’m making a bit of money in my day job - estimating tile - while losing it in the markets. I’m focused in high risk mining stocks though, so if investors ever push those things up to match the metals I’ll make quite a lot. I still have trouble understanding how gold could go from $1800 to $2600 over 4 years while GDX & GDXJ just continue to go down.
