As a counterpoint, just to show the relevance of threads like this:
Let's say you have just left college and looking for something to do. You know somebody who is trading and that person is very successful and got to be profitable after a few months. So you tell to yourself, geee, that sounds easy money, why don't I just become a trader?
Then just in case, you decide to research the topic, and after googling it you find a thread like this. Then the average answer will be 3-5 years, not just a few months. Now you have a much better picture just what it takes to become a profitable trader, and you don't have to go by the 1 sample that is clearly an outlier.... And then you decide you don't have another 3-5 years to waste on a maybe, and you stick to your original college major...
Because of this, threads like this have value, no matter who asked the question....
