It took literally 1 week to realize the finance industry, or corporate was not for me, seeing people checking share prices, reading and discussing articles of the sort whilst i'm watching golf highlights during my lunch break, I had the technical skills for it but I could not compete with people who literally live the job, and i did not want to turn into that type of person. Albeit i have never been ambitious, very happy to plod along, as long as i'm home reasonably and have time to golf on the weekends i am a happy man, spending 40 years under constant stress hating what you are doing, for what, makes no sense. Some people love the rat race, they love the corporate life, they love playing the game and they are good at it. id rather kill myself that do that shit, staying late, people wanting to one up you and get ahead, cant be fucked for those games.
