You'll burn years in a classroom chasing a degree for a job that pays mediocre and drains your soul. But you won't put in the screen time to actually learn how markets move — liquidity sweeps, gamma flips, range structure, the stuff that pays.

Everybody wants the win. Nobody wants to watch $SPY chop for 200 hours until the setup finally clicks. No algorithm's gonna trade your book for you. No guru's gonna hand you edge. You either log the reps or you stay broke.

The market doesn't care about your résumé. It cares if you can read price, size risk, and take the trade when it's there. That's the only shortcut — there isn't one.
