Is day-trading a realistic career?

Full time trader, Joey, discusses the challenges and realities of pursuing day trading as a career. While it's possible for many people to succeed in day trading, it requires significant time, dedication, and the willingness to make it a lifestyle. He emphasizes that becoming a successful day trader often means sacrificing a balanced, healthy life due to the extensive hours and commitment needed. Success in day trading typically takes years, with little to no progress in the initial stages. For those who prefer a less demanding approach, he suggests swing trading, which is more of an academic endeavour and less performance-driven.
