Hi there,
Given that as traders we (I say we, I'm still at the beginnning of my trading journey) probably have a a greater consciousness and appetite for risk than the general population.
An appetite for risk is also often a trait exhibited by entrepreneurs and so I wouldn't be suprised to find an above average number of such people within the trading community. I'm just curious as to what other traders may have delved into in the business world and if they would like to share anecdotes and experience.
In my own case, whilst still a mere babe-in-arms compared to what I perceive to be the average age of a T2W member (I've just turned 21) I've tried my hand at international imports. I spent some time working in China and Hong Kong and with the contacts I made and knowledge I gained I imported LCD Projectors which I sold with moderate success on eBay. Unfortunately I've had to liquidate because I'm entering into my final year at university and time is too limited.
However I have always had an interest in the markets, and with my moderate profits and 21st birthday money burning a hole in my pocket I was about to jump in with both feet. Thankfully I restrained myself and committed to learning as much about what I was entering into before I spent a penny as possible (that experience gained from eBay trading and importing already paying dividends!).
