Need advice from MrKamath and forum members – General – beragampengetahuan – Beragampengetahuan

Hey,
I am in a similar situation like you, I have taken admission in a Tier 2 Engineering college but still my interest has always been in the markets and derivative instruments. I have also been consistently skipping college (my attendance percentage doesn’t even cross 5%) to trade the markets and also have been consistently earning, getting better, scaling. I Have understood the pricing, settlement, trading of F&O at a much deeper level than before and also most important of all I have stopped trading for the sake of trading and have stopped treating trading as easy money and instead treating it as a very serious business on a daily basis. I understand trading is the riskiest business there is but I have prepared myself for it both mentally and financially as-well.

I have discussed these my trading career with the college admin but they have refused to give any concessions to me unless it is a proper tech startup. Using the money earned from the trading I have invested it on myself and other business ventures to get returns from them too. I understand the college education is good, But I do not feel it is useful for me at this point in my life.

While reading this you may think I have made up my mind, but I am at a sensitive point in life and would like to take advice from you. Committing to either one would mean leaving the other. I am open to advice from everybody on this form. I have consulted with people on either sides of path but I am still in a state of confusion. Many other students could be in this position and advice on this post could help them.
