Hi everybody...

My plan as stated in my previous posts is to become a full time trader in 8 years time. I came to thinking I could trade during the day and work in a job suitable for late hours (6pm to 12pm) . Having sufficient income just incase my day trading dreams turn out for the worse. Is anyone currently doing this? what are the possible jobs i could do....? Im currently thinking about janitor work or stacking shelves @ coles..

Thanks in advance :)

Few other suggestions:

- Bar / hotel / restaurants
- Security guards
- Adult education classes
- Personal trainer
- and if you are good looking and think your body is a tool for money...

Male modelling
 
data entry + internet + multitasking (Alt tab) = daytrading at work lol I used to do it before I was made redundant, if your good u can fit in ebay selling during lunch lol

+1 here.

Just get a normal job and do what white says, why would you do it the other way around? not like you're saving late nights or anything because you'll be working anyway, unless you have an inner desire to be a security guard or webcam pr0n star. :p:

All the best with your goal :)
 
Do what I did move OS, to Uk, that way you can trade till your heart is content and still keep a full time day job paying big bickies lol
 
If you're day trading, I'd advise against any work that involves proximity to sharp objects :p:
 
You could get a job pole dancing. I hear that makes good money, keeps you fit and has the right hours.

Or alternatively you could follow this good advice -

No, do not listen to the others! Yes, i do what you've suggested. I work in hospitality / entertainment on the weekends.

But, getting back to your point, i have often thought about getting an extra job at night. Hospitality is a good industry for after-hours work. I think it's a great idea to get a bread & butter job to support yourself while you day trade. Don't listen to the cynics ;)
 
Pizza delivery shifts are from about 5:30 to 10pm.. that would suit your hours and its quite an easy job to get.
