I was a rocket scientist (no bullshit, it sounds like a joke but I actually was :-)

I had a very well paid job near the top of my field, but I just couldn't take all the corporate bullshit and backstabbing.

Always been a trader since my late teens so I decided just to do it full time, instead of grafting away for someone elses profit. About 20 years so far, but only 8 or 9 years full time as my main income.
